30 gal conical

Hopefully The picture gets up loaded! this is my 30 gallon polypropylene mix/fill tank. I removed the manway that came attached. Smoothed the top surface. Drilled a 3/4 inch hole for the air lock. Placed a cutting board with a layer of nonskid shelf liner over a layer of plastic wrap. Two 35# dumb bells to seal it up. The 1 1/4" ball valve and a 2" "T" to hold the trub. All seems to be working well so far.

Pic didn't work, but it sounds awesome, and quite useful. What size batch are you fermenting?

US Plastics. Came to $209 delivered to LHBS. Maybe $20 for the fittings. About $50 to raise the stand but you could save a little doing it differently.

Dude I want one of those! That would be awesome to ferment 25 gallons at once.

The following is my post from 4/24 describing my first 25 gallon batch;

Did my first 25 gallon brew yesterday. Basically it was an all grain 5 gallon until the boil. A single infusion mash with a batch sparge. Used 12# 6 row pale malt. a total of 10 gallons of water used in the mash and sparge. Added 6 more gallons to the 40 gallon boil pot. Then 33# of light malt extract. 2 1/2 of centennial @ 45minutes and !/2 oz at flame out. Chilled it down to 80 degrees. Pumped into A 30 gal U S Plastics full drain conical. Added 55 degree water to the 26 gal level. Wort was @ 70 degrees. Pitched the yeast and sealed it up. Starting gravity= 1.050. Bubbling away as we speak. I brewed my weight in beer in just one day!
