might be a daft question, but why would you want to carbonate in the fermenter?

Think it's more of a matter of retaining natural carbonation with a spunding valve so you don't need to force carb. Maintaining more co2 might help avoid oxidation as well.

Qs

The floating dip tube sounds interesting. I've a fast ferment conical and I find I have to draw a couple of litres of beer from it before I fill my keg if I want to avoid a lot of yeast and other trub. And thats after the yeast ball has been removed.

Ah right, fair enough - cheers! so if you ferment in a corny (with mod'd dip tube, and  with a spunding valve) it has more benefits than just saving on time, CO2 and cleaning. I hadn't really considered the exposure to O2. Must do more research on that... i remember someone on here posting a guide to it.
