    Product overview Since fermentation yeasts react sensitively to frequent temperature changes, iFerm Nano Tank intervenes in fermentation processes even before the target temperature is reached and starts the cooling. Brief cooling pulses gently slow down the temperature rise, and exceeding of the target temperature is prevented by more intensive cooling.
