Hello fellow cider enthusiasts,
My first batch of cider was successful and tasted exquisite. So thanks to you guys for answering my first questions about making cider in a previous thread.
Now comes the part where I want to brew again, however I got a question remaining. My previous batch was first fermented in a plastic fermenting bucket and was then racked into a glass carboy. Yesterday I got gifted a stainless steel conical fermenter, something like this:

So now my question is how should I use it? Should I let my cider ferment in this steel fermenter and then drain the dead yeast and garbage with the valve at the bottom? This way I shouldn't have the need to rack my cider, right?
Thanks for answering this question!
