5 Gal DIY conical....

It is interesting. Not very sexy (no stainless steel).

Do you think there would be any off flavors or smells from the plastic buckets?

It looks like it could be a real PITA to clean/use....

whats the point of having a 5 gallon conical??? Kind of pointless other than to claim you have a conical

They sell everything you need to blow bucket parts through the wall and soak your ceiling with beer, then disclaim it with this: "We do not recommend pressurizing and do not guarantee your bucket."

The name reminds me of the movie, "That Thing You Do." "What's the name of your band? The Oh-Need-Uhrs?"

Looks like an outstanding product...

I saw that disclaimer....pretty funny! I wonder how big the conical section is...is it even big enough to ferment 5 gallons in?

I thought I saw one of the vids say that it would fit 6.5 gallon buckets too. It seems like a cool idea to vent off the CO2 for the first part of the fermentation and then close it off to slowly carbonate it to whatever you want.

They were demonstrating these at NHC in Seattle/Bellevue. Seeing that bucket inflated like a balloon and bulging out at the seams while under pressure did not fill me with confidence. Now, I have no direct experience with the product, perhaps it works a treat. However, it just looked like a disaster waiting to happen.

I say this in the current issue of byo. I was also wondering about this thing. The first thing that I thought was why did the use black buckets instead of white. I would be scared of the color leaching into the beer.

I saw them at NHC and thought they were a joke. I haven't tried them out and I know it's not the best thing to form an opinion before trying it. The buckets are not rated for pressure, period and I think it's a horrible idea.
