Its a great deal if you have space and see yourself brewing 20+ gallon batches in the near future. A few people here ARE brewing that much (if not more).

I just can't fathom brewing that much right now, but for 75$. who knows.

Imagine cooling that large of a batch.
If you had a diesel, you'd be in great shape to make bio diesel from waste vegetable oil.

you can never go too big lol 
Wow I'd buy those in a second, and I only make 5 gallon batches.

I bet he'd take less. Can't imagine there'd be a huge demand for them....

They sell new for $94 so I don't know whether it would be work $20 to get it used.
However, in the DIY section there are instructions for taking those containers and turning them into conicals. If my memory serves me right there is an issue getting them airtight.

Wait....
there is a thread about turning a conical fermenter into a conical fermenter?
That must be the shortest DIY thread ever.

It would be great for converting oil, but.....getting back to beer, with 30 gallons of wort in a container composed of a pretty good insulator, and about as wide as it is tall.....yeah, I would be concerned about cooling. I think moving to this container would demand a cooling system.

Yeah, but he is including the stand, which new would make it considerably more.

Would I be better off building one myself? or one like this? seems a little bit on the high side by about 150$
although it seems to have a nicer fridge then most i see.

lol I meant the conical containers from US Plastics, not the fermenter the guy is selling on craigslist. They still need the valves on the bottom and optionally a place for an airlock.

I think he ment the thread about using a fermentation bucket and a funnel to build a conical.
But that is the post of the month right there, Walker!!
