14.2 Gallon Conical Vs 15.5 gallon Keg fermenter (Sabco style fermenter)
Ok I have recently upgraded my whole system to a 10 gallon All Grain for my mash and boil.
Now it’s Time to get a new larger ferment or, probably a conical but I am trying to justify to cash
So I am looking for what other people love and use and what the pros and cons maybe
Some things I have come across and herd
Conical: Pros:-
1. No need to secondary
2. Able dump trub
3. Easy to harvest yeast
4. Able to pressurize for transfers
Cons:-
1. Price $800+ for tri clamp versions
2. ½" dump valve always blocking making trub dumping and yeast harvesting difficult
3. Large size for fitting in fridge
15.5 gallon Keg Pros:-
1. Easy to sanitize Steam sanitize on system
2. Pressurized transfers
3. Tri clamp rotating racking arms
4. Smaller able to fit in fridge
5. Cost
Cons:-
1. Not able to secondary
2. Not able to harvest the yeast so easy
