Hi@all,
after a brief and long search along several forums and boards on homebrewing, I decided to become a member here which seems to be the most competent..!!!
Well, I want to upgrade my equipment with two new fermenter, but these are dammed expensive here in Europe (80Liters for just 1700 Euro). So I decided to build them on my own.
But it seems o be rather difficult to weld a conical fermenter. I.e. to hold everything in place while welding. Today I had also done a search on grain mills, and because of them I came across my new new idea. Okay, it seems to be new, because I didn't find something like my idea on the web. But it is possible that this idea will just waste money, so I need your comments
It is no big problem to weld along a straight line, so why don't use straight lines on a fermenter - so I got the idea to use a pyramidal design instead a conical...
I had drawn to views from the top, the right one has a square plae as bottom, so it is easier to install a valve...
What do you think about that idea...????
About a stand and the lid I really love the Yuri's idea in his DIY Conical Fermenter thread.
kind regards from Bavaria
Steve
