Chubby Apollo Pressure Fermenter – 30L
The Chubby Pressure Fermenter has long been recognised as one of the world’s most popular PET fermenters, and the Chubby Apollo takes that proven design even further. Engineered by the team at Keg King, this upgraded model features a significantly wider opening, improved strength, and integrated handles for greater convenience and usability.
The standout feature is the extra-wide 115 mm lid, designed to make cleaning and access easier than ever. The larger opening allows easy reach inside the fermenter while also supporting a range of additional functionality through integrated ports.
Built for performance, the 30 L tank is ideal for standard single-batch fermentation. The Chubby Apollo functions as a closed-bottom pressure fermenter, enabling pressure fermentation and closed transfers, but it can also be used as a traditional gravity fermenter with an airlock if preferred.
The durable PET construction and reinforced design provide exceptional strength, while the integrated handles are robust enough to lift the fermenter even when full. A stable bottom chime keeps the tank upright without the need for an external rack or frame.
The lid system offers excellent flexibility, including a centre port with ½” BSP threads. This comes sealed with a hex cap but allows the addition of optional accessories such as thermowells, CIP equipment, or other compatible fittings. The wider lid design also provides space for features such as dry hop ports and expansion ports, giving brewers more control and customization options.
Manufactured in Australia to high engineering standards, each fermenter undergoes individual pressure testing to ensure reliability and safety. The result is one of the strongest and most dependable PET pressure fermenters available.
