Just got an email about this new Blichmann product this morning. It's a conical fermentor that transforms into a corny keg when done fermenting so you don't have to rack. I think it's a really awesome concept. Initial thoughts vs my process (brewtech brew bucket, keg off sampling port):
Pros:
Don't have to sanitize a keg prior to racking
Don't have to purge a corny with co2 prior to racking
Basically your beer has zeo chance of coming into contact with O2
Saves on some overall cleaning time
Cons:
Have to buy multiple blichmann cornies, can't find pricing on those
Too expensive for me personally (not including multiple cornies)
About 3.5ft tall...might be too tall for some people
What do you guys think? My initial reaction is I would love to try this for one brew and see how well it works. I'm assuming if its Blichmann that it probably does what it says it does. I couldn't afford it but it likes like something that would definitely make things a little easier.
