The 250 L fermenter with a real pressure rating.
The BrewTaurus PRO CF-250 is a jacketed conical fermenter rated 2.0 bar working / 4.0 bar design and test pressure — closed fermentation, pressure transfers and spunding are part of the design, not an upgrade. 250 L effective, 315 L total volume for kräusen headspace.
Fermenter or unitank — which one?
Same vessel, same 2.0 bar rating, same glycol jacket. The difference is what happens after fermentation:
| Fermenter | Unitank | |
| What it does | CF-250: ferments the beer, which is then transferred to a bright beer tank (BBT) for carbonation and serving | UT-250: ferments, carbonates and serves from one tank — no BBT needed |
| Fittings | standard port set | standard port set + rotary racking arm, spunding valve, carbonation stone |
| Typical setup | production cellar: 2–3 fermenters share one BBT, fermenters turn over faster | taproom or small cellar: fewer tanks, beer poured straight from the tank |
| Best for | breweries that package or serve from bright tanks | brewpubs, taprooms, limited floor space |
