Default 1 BBl (31 gal) conical fermenters

Hay guys I havent posted in quite some time I have been working on my buisness and in the process I have decited to put together some conicals from toledo metal spinning the hoppers are $308 unless I buy 5 or more then they would be $267 + tax and shipping I have the means in to get them put together as completed units with lids and ball valves and legs everything total I am figuring on with shipping would be about $700. I am not trying to make a cent on them just lowering my cost I am going to build 2 and am looking fo 3 others to go in with me and lower our costs as well. let me know if anyone is interested I am going to make my order on monday the 18th. Even if you just want the hopper and lid without me having them put together thats cool too.
Cheers
JJ

well you only need $700.00 for a finished one and about $300 for a blank that you can build

I just bought a Blichmann 27 gallon fermentor. Is yours going to be pressureizable? The blichmann is pressureizable because the lid attaches with a band like a pool filter lid has. The 27 gallon will ferment 21 gallons with good headspace. What is the 31 gallon ferment volume?

I am just guessing the 31 will ferment 24 gallons. I am not sure if I am going to be able to put much pressure to it but probably some. Hay what did yours cost total with tax and shipping???

well I found out how to do all weldless on these for probably around 500 ea and the order is going in tomorrow for 2 unless someone wants a few dropshiped to there house. its giong to be a piece of cake to get them put together with all hardware store parts (except maybe the 24" gasket that will have to come from Mc Master Carr for 14.00 ) looks like all I need is 2 more takers and they will be even less $$$$$
Cheers
JJ
