Great thread. I'll be trying something similar with my Brewers Hardware 20gal conical.

I recently purchased the Brewer's Hardware 20 gallon conical, and have my first brew fermenting away now. This thing is nice! The butterfly valves are great, and I like all of the large openings - 8" TC at the top and 2" dump at the bottom. The quality is excellent and it did not have any...

I am planning on a 15 or 20 gal conical soon and I'm wondering the same thing. My challenge is the distance from boil kettle to conical. I will either need a long run of tubing (40-50') or some type of way to move the conical around safely. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

SS Brewing had a pre-sale for a shipment of half-barrel conicals this morning at 9:00 AM PDT. I got the email about the pre-sale last week. I went to their site just before 9:00 and the sold-out tag was still on. At 9:01, I was able to add the item to the cart, but when I went to check out...

So I screwed up yesterday trying to rush a beer. After two weeks on primary, fermentation appeared to be done (IPA, OG 1.059, US-05). I moved the fermenter to the keezer to cold crash w/o taking a gravity reading. I was cleaning a bunch of kegs and the keezer trying to rush - yeah I know...

Great weather here in Texas today. Brewed my last partial mash before going 100% all-grain. Made a West Coast IPA with US-05. Tried the new convoluted counterflow chiller and submersible pump to recirculate ice water; the setup worked better than expected.

It is very good. I had some with family last night and it's almost gone. It has only improved over time, although I enjoyed the strong hopiness when it was first legged.

I did a partial mash brew on Thanksgiving day. Moved it to secondary (5 gal keg) last week and plan to chill and carb this Thursday so it has a full week to carb. Hopefully it will be ready to go for Christmas Eve - I'm excited about serving this one.
