Anyone any experience of this sort of equipment?

Probably cynical but would there be any advantage of using one of these, instead of a plastic bucket, that would justify the price increase?

Are sure being cynical is ok but sure shiny is always cool when ye have lots of money to spend

They look pretty. If you compare the price of their conicals to the price of the brew bucket the conicals look like a much better price/product. Maltmiller will be doing a preorder for those in the coming months.

Benefits over fermenting bucket:

1. Perform pressurized transfers
2. Leave yeast behind in the cone for clearer, easier transfers
3. No siphoning, just open the valve
4. No scratches = no hidden infection (easy-to-clean)


Personally, they're not worth it until they get a bottom dump valve.  The primary reason for having a conical is to be able to dump yeast / trub.
Rumor is they're going to release a version with a dump valve before too long.
