TJ Experimental Fermenters

Entrepreneur and Silicon Valley engineer Thurman John (T.J.) Rodgers designed and donated over 150 fermenters for the purpose of enhancing Viticulture and Enology research and teaching capabilities at UC Davis.  Equipped with digital Brix and temperature probes, automated pump-over systems, temperature control and carbon capture, these fermenters provide the optimum design for experimental control.
