Does anyone know a vendor that makes custom dome covers for conical fermenters? I have a 12 1/2 gallon conical fermenter, and the flat top cover makes it tight with 11 gallons of wort. Instead of selling this and buying a different style, I thought I'd inquire about having a custom cover built that will give me the extra "head space". Thoughts?? Thanks!!
 
What material is your conical and what material cover are you looking for? A clear plastic/glass of some sort would be cool
 
It's a stainless conical; so would like a stainless cover.... but I agree that a translucent cover would be neat.
 
Yes AF1HomeBrew. But one that will allow a ring style clamp and not multiple clasps. If I had to buy new, that's probably the one I'd go with. But I thought I'd investigate getting a custom dome cover made. I'm thinking there could be a need for this?? I can't be alone on this issue...
 
Spike Brewing. It was one of their first offerings on conicals. I believe the newer models are 14-15 gallon volumes.
 
I did send an email to Spike Brewing this morning. Interesting though I couldn't find any pics of conicals with dome tops though....
 
Blichmann sells some to expand their conicals but finding the right diameter and fitment for yours will probably be tough..

I've only seen a snippet that was available on their facebook page that shows a fermenter with a domed top (CAD drawing).
 
Yup, Spike brewing is designing a new conical with a dome lid. I would email them to see if they will be designing dome lids to retrofit their older conicals, they may.
 
Thanks everyone!! I have emailed Spike. They mentioned doing a trade when the new conicals come in. I'm hopeful something can be worked out.
