  • Ball Valve - Easily start and stop the transfer of your cold brew to your keg or storage vessel.
  • Handles - Makes moving the cold brew into a your final storage container a breeze.
  • Removable Lid (with clamps) - Keep unwanted pests out of your cold brew as it steeps.
  • Pressurizable - You can pressurize your conical fermenter with a Pressure Transfer Kit to speed up the transfer to your kegs.
