12 gallon stainless conical $897.00

Fairly certain Stout makes them...

could be, but from their website: Special and custom orders placed now will be ready to ship from Portland in approximately April. See our list of in-stock and coming soon special order items.

What I am saying is that an order placed to China today would take about 30 or so days to arrive here in the states. As with everything, the more you buy at one time the better price you get per unit and with shipping. So the guy at Stouts probably waits until he fills a large order before placing one.

THIS is the manufacturer who makes them for Stouts Tanks and Kettles

Looks like they did not sell any 1st time thru. Price lowered to 755.

Wow I was going for the weekend and there have been a ton of posts. From what I understand of the Stout tanks is that they are manufactured in china. So really what I propose is that we as a group cut out the middle man and save a few bux. I will ask the folks for a technical drawing. I was planning on posting the information in a new thread. Give me a couple days and I will do that. I specified triclamp with a racking arm and thermowell

Could you add some of the kettles to the same order to add to the quantity? Or would they have to be on a separate order? I'd be in on a set of the kettles.


The link in post 42 don't work for me.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Stout has the pic of a 1bbl system for under $3k (Home 1 BBL BREWING SYSTEM, Approx. $3,000!). If we could get something like that and save a few hundred $$$, I'd be really really interested.

Check this 14.5 gallon fermenter

(3rd one down is on sale now):

Conicals | Stout Tanks and Kettles - Conical Fermenters

If you go together and ship via truck, you might save more $.

How do these compare to the blichmann conicals? Does anyone here own one?

Which one are you referring to?

Any of them, I'm talking build quality, any size conical fermenter from stouts/the supplier.

I have a 7.3 from Stout and it's a nice quality fermenter for the money. I'm now looking at larger fermenters because I recently bought a 45 gallon BK and 40 gallon MLT from Stout. I'm very happy with all three pieces.

Like I said, lets get a price from our Chinese brethren for one of these setups:

Ok here are the pictures and technical drawings. this is not from the same person that makes the stout tanks. I sent off a request for that info also.

I like the looks of the ones on the right. The one thing I don't like about the Stout conicals is the lid.

So if people are interested in these let me know we need at least 5 to place an order and 20 and 30 to get the breaks that I had listed

Looks like two different types of conicals. Which ones are you looking to order?

I was thinking the ones on the left

Will they hold 5 psi+- pressure for CO2 transfer of beer?

It's hard to tell from the pics but the ones on the right look like they have a large tri-clamp lid.

So are we looking for a 12 gallon or larger? I personally would like a 20+ gallon size.

14.5 gallon is what i priced

crazyirishman34 said:

I looked into buying a few of those conicals direct from China. The ones that I was looking at also had triclamp fittings. They are about $300 FOB in china if you buy 10 or more. If you are willing to wait a month or so for them to show up with shipping a nice conical can be had for about $400

Fully pressurized?

CONICAL FERMENTER 12.5 GALLON STAINLESS HOMEBREW ( beer or wine ) | eBay

12.5 gal, same as stouts 399 + ~$24 shipping... at least that would be the shipping price from PA to Tampa, FL.

He has the 7.3 gal for 299 + ~$20 shipping

I like the looks of that set. What size are they? I'd be wanting 20 gallon kettles. If we can get some info on them I'd be interested in getting in.

The ones with the dome lid and triclamp top can be presurized to 5psi. The stout tanks are a 14.5gal not the 15.5 gallon

Those are not the same as Stout's fermenters.

if anyone is still interested in the 14.5gal fermentors I am still looking to do a group buy

Did you get a price? Is there any savings to be had? I might be interested depending on price, but I'd really like one of those 1bbl systems I posted the photo of. Let me know what you hear.

THANKS!

That is a different manufacturer that makes the 1 bbl system. the ones i was looking at were 470 fob

Actually, they use the same manufacturer.

I've thought about buying direct from China, but I've also read horror stories where people don't get anything for their money or they get junk. I think I'd rather buy from a USA importer that will back up the product so I know I'm going to get what I paid for.

It's not worth the risk for the bit of savings, IMO. Let someone else deal with them and take the risk - I'll gladly pay a little extra to let them handle it. Since they deal with the companies all the time and have people in China, they are in a better position than you or I.

I think that you should talk exclusively for yourself. I have had dealing with people in China and feel confident that I would not be duped. The saving would be almost half of what you would pay to an "importer". If you think that the fellow from stout tanks or anyone else has special mojo that is not the case.

False stouts is very close to the price you would pay if you ordered directly.

The ones I was looking to order are the ones in the pictures with the domed lids, racking arm, thermowell ect. While the stout tanks are nice they have the odd clamping system to hold seal the lid. Also you can't pressure transfer with them. Also I talked to them about get some with cooling jackets

What did they say about the cooling jackets?
Where would they be hitting the US?
If we could get solid specs and shipping details so we can get a solid final cost, I could then decide to make a firm commitment or not.

Thanks again!
