fermentation vessel

A fermentation vessel is a container specifically designed for the fermentation process, where microorganisms like yeast or bacteria convert sugars into alcohol, acids, or gases. These vessels can be made of glass, plastic, or stainless steel and often have a way to release gas while keeping contaminants out. Fermentation vessels come in various sizes, from small carboys for home brewing to large tanks for commercial production. They are essential in producing beverages like beer and wine, as well as foods like yogurt and sauerkraut, by providing a controlled environment for fermentation to occur effectively.
