Immersion

Immersion is the world’s smallest lager fermentation device, giving brewers the ability to brew world class lagers without a refrigerator. Immersion can bring your fermenting beer down to 35º F below ambient in a matter of days and hold maintain that temperature for as long as it is plugged into the wall. Immersion has the same footprint as your carboy or fermentation bucket so no additional space is needed to create a lager! Now it is possible to brew a lager in your closet, bedroom, living room, or any tiny corner of your house.

How it works

Immersion uses a patent pending solid state cooling engine that actively pumps heat out of your fermenting beer.  Small static heat pumps are activated when a current is passed through that pull heat from your beer, through the rod, and out the heat exhaust on the top of the device. Immersion can be so small because it cools the beer itself, and not the air surrounding the beer.
