Anyone using a stainless steel Conical fermenter

[alealex]

Bought 10 gallon conical few years back from MyBeer&Wine.
It came at great price of €very very few hundred.
It's great piece of equipment for oxygen free beer transfer, taking samples, collecting yeast from the bottom valve and force carbing even (thats correct force carbonation).
Getting yeast out from the bottom valve is not a prob with some co2 over 1bar pressure.
In general it is good fun as long as it comes at the right price
But cleaning two of those two piece valve.. pita!

The one from brewbuilder is fine fermenter but lid wouldn't stand much pressure or enough for racking. With small bottom valve expect fun trying to get yeast out not mentioning force carbing.

I like the look of the Brew Bucket Mini, but stock seems to be an option.

I'm gonna do a bit more research Alex as there are 2 valves a dump and a beer I'm sure you can pressurise as well

Jaysus the cleaning of the cronical would be nearly as long as the brewday
