I'm looking to purchase my first stainless conical fermenter and I have my decision narrowed down to the Stout Tanks conicals. At this point I just need someone to push me in one direction or the other concerning which model to get.
I'm a 10 gallon brewer and am debating the pros and cons of the 12.5 gallon unit compared to the 14.5 gallon. Can anyone comment to the quality of the 1.4 gallon compared to the 12.5? Reading older threads it appears that either would be acceptable for a 10 gallon batch but the 14.5 gallon would probably be more ideal.
The 12.5 is $399 whereas the 14.5 is $529. I'm not as concerned with a thermowell but the 14.5 gallon utilizes one.
So is the extra money for the 14.5 gallon worth it?
