Awesome...thanks!

Those prices are cheap.

That does not include the stand does it? It says in the description something about requiring a stand.

NEKvt · Dec 23, 2011

The stand is a separate option for $65, seems most people build their own.

got the 15 gallon and they ship fast. I have 13 gallons of Vienna Lager bubbling away in it now.

Ace Roto Mold 35 Gallon Full Drain Inductor Set IBFD35-SET America's Farm & Home Store

Looks like they have some versions with and some without.

yeah, no stand came with mine but i've seen lots of people build one out of a piece of plywood and some 2x4s. i just couldnt believe the free shipping.

Is that plastic high enough grade?

Yep, this has been debated already.

How did you get the free shipping? Was it a coupon code or something?

Firebat138 · Dec 24, 2011

yup... look at the banner on the page... I think it was FREESHIP... unless they moved it....

WAit... just checked... yup... still there... GREAT deal... I think you can build one for like under 80 bucks

Yes, when you check out you enter a coupon code.

How well do these seal?

Eternalodyssey · Dec 25, 2011

I plan on purchasing two of the plastic conicals and make a dual-conical fermentation stand with temp controller. There are many threads I have read on this forum that have given me my design ideas and I can't wait to post my results!

geniz · Dec 26, 2011

What are the dimensions of these. Can they fit in a fridge fermenter ?

geniz · Dec 26, 2011

Nevermind. Found it:

FYI, be sure you're ordering the tank and not the stand. I ordered on my cell phone and grabbed the first thing that came up as 15 gal full drain. I was not overly pleased to find the 15 gallon full drain STAND on my front step today.

I double checked and I did actually order the stand but apparently didn't read the description well enough. Oh well, I guess I saved myself the hassle of building one.

What type of connection are you using on the bottom?

dblott1 · Dec 29, 2011

mine said it comes with 2" FPT so im going to get a reducer from 2" to either 1 1/2" or 1" (depends on the price of a 1 1/2" ball valve). i want to do all threads so i can undo it to clean it. i've seen some people to pvc fittings but i like the thread w/ teflon tape so that i can take it apart easily and clean it. does anyone out there know where to get a good deal on 1 1/2" ball valves? or maybe just 1"? i order my racking port (which came today) but they didnt sell valves that large (that i could see). fyi....cant wait till tues....the 30gal shows up via ups

Check out "super simple conical..." in this forum. Tons of great info and parts lists there...

nisk916 · Dec 30, 2011

Look at your local Napa auto parts. Ask to see their PSA/balkamp catalog, and look for the ag section. Their are several polypropylene ballvalves,bulkheads, camlocks, and other fittings.

dblott1 · Jan 5, 2012

just showed up in the mail!!!! fantastic!!! very easy to build the frame like i saw other do here. and i siliconed under the rim of the lid attachment like i saw others do. cant wait till the 1 1/2" SS ball valve gets here
