I've lurked here forever, it seems like. OK, more like 3 or 4 years.
I want a pressurize-able 'unitank' conical fermenter for my project to experiment with single step fermenting & carbonating. BUT, I want to do 2.5gallon half batches.
I figure (that means I'm completely guessing) I'll need a half gallon to 1.5 gallons of headspace for this since it'll be closed and pressurized. Sound about right?
It doesn't look like anyone makes a conical fermenter smaller than 6.5 gallon..Not that I found anyway. Before I go drop $$ on welder and spend some time frigging with it to weld this up myself: anyone seen smaller pressurized conical fermenters?
Here's another question: if it don't need to be pretty, what would prevent me from brazing it up instead of welding it if I end up DIY to get it built?
