Must have 06/28/2017
By Mike Sharp
This is without question the best $25 I've ever spent on homebrewing. I use this with my SS Brewtech Chronical. The first 16 ounce Ball jar removes all kettle trub, hops and cold break that make it into the fermenter. A second jar handles the remaining sediment from fermentation and even acts as a sight glass so I can observe active fermentation. 8 ounce jars then capture the creamiest purest yeast I have ever harvested. The yeast is cleaner than I've ever been able to get with washing.

If you harvest and wash yeast you must have this!

Tri-Clover Mason Jar Yeast Harvester 06/02/2016
By Fernando Campo
I wanted to collect yeast from my conical fermenter without exposing it to air and contamination. I searched around for a solution and found the sight glasses are too small and expensive so I bought this adapter without hesitation.
I liked the idea of using several inexpensive glass mason jars to collect and store yeast.
Adapter came with a spare silicone jar lid seal.
It is nicely tig welded and smooth finished.
On my first test had a small leak on the jar lid but sealed ok once tighten hard.
The Tri Clover end fits and seals perfectly on my Ss Brewtech 7 gal Chronical Fermenter.
I needed to place some wood blocks to extend the legs of fermenter to acomodate the collecting jar below fermenter.
I wish I had bought the whole kit with Tri Clover clamp, the cap and silicone seal but will buy them later.
Overall it is a great add-on to my brewing toy box which will make yeast collection an easy and fun task.
Cheers...!!!

Works, except for the leak. 05/29/2024
By James Withers
So I used this to convert my Anvil Crucible 7 gallon into a yeast harvester. Everything fits perfectly. The only problem is the gasket that goes around the edge of the product does not create a tight enough seal and leaks after about 3 gallons of water were put into the conical. I am trying to figure out how to adjust or what to add to make sure it does not leak.
Our responseThank you for the review, James! Standard canning jars come with lid bands that are sometimes not deep enough to reach down far enough into the grooves of the canning jar. The bands are also not made of stainless steel. This is why we offer a custom lid band that IS made of stainless steel and is also elongated on the sides of the band to reach more jar grooves. Net result is that it provides a deeper, tighter seal for the "v" grooved gasket. SKU for this little gem is 2786. Cheers! Victor.
