I recently bought a Minibrew 15 gallon conical. I have my first batch fermenting now. I have already dumped some trub but was thinking that it would be more efficient, (and less wasteful) if I could fashion some kind of catch device that attaches to the 1" ball valve and let the sediment trub settle directly there. Then it would just be a matter of closing the valve, removing the device, emptying it, sanitizing it and reattaching it for more crud.
My question is, has anyone made one of these before, or do you have an idea for fabricating one? I have spent hours in Home Depot and Lowes looking for something I could make work, and don't have any real good ideas. I could use some fresh ideas.
