Not yet. But thats what I want to build when I get time to.
A couple of those in the basement would be awesome. |

Yeah, I've got a fermenator that I really love but it *was* pricey. Still, I'd do it again but upgrade to the 20GAL.

i have a bunch [10] of 12 gal stainless vessels i got from a defunct medical equipment that were used for liquid O2 that i'm planning on using for fermenters, but i think a conical would make an ideal primary. the trub/ yeast catcher ideas were what caught my eye. i think i can get into a 15 gal for under $100 for everything. i'm a welder/fabricator of sorts and can build/machine a bunch of the parts.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have almost 30 of them. Well share them with us then. Actually, don't. It would take all of us brewing on our homebrew equipment probably a month straight just to fill one.

Yes, I have a 27g fermenator. Blichmann is a fellow Purdue grad, so I tried to support him as much as possible. I have supported him to the tune of several thousand.

He makes good stuff, his brew stand is top notch. Next step is a RIMS setup for me but I'm in no hurry, I would like to look at some automation. The only ding about his Conicals are that they're heavy and the caster wheel options kind of suck. I wish someone would make an affordable glycol based conical for lagering as I still use buckets for that due to needing a fridge. I have no experience with the plastic Conicals but have heard very good feedback from those that have plus they're a heck of a lot cheaper. |

I believe the 27 will fit in a full size fridge without the casters or legs. We are lagering in carboys in a modded deep freeze.
