If you feel like making more than one I'd pay you for your troubles
So.... the most that I can ferment in this is maybe 12gals??
The most I'll do in mine is probably 12 - 13 gallons.
I have all of plumbing for this thing if you are interested. All quick disconnects, couplings, nipple to attach hose and banjo valve. Let me know if so...

I have all of the parts for the bottom of the conical already, with the exception of a yeast catcher, which I'm skipping for now. I'm working on the side port right now, and order parts for it.
So what size of hole did you guys do for the stand for this to slide into?
Why are you doing a side port? I ask because the yeast catcher when properly sized eliminates the need for the side port and associated plumbing/valve.

I did a side port on mine w/ a spigot as well. I can measure the hole when I get home if you are still in need.
Yes if you won't mind. I came up with a 57.5" circumference, so an 18.30" diameter. So if you can double check yours that would be great. Thanks and cheers.
Sorry this took so long to return to you but I measured my hole and it was just simply a 1ft hole diameter hole. It works well but is probably the bare minimum you would want to go. I made mine that way so I could have my conical higher up and still add fittings to it
I am sure this has been asked before but is there a place we can buy the 15 gal tanks with low shipping costs?
Just remember the 15 gallon ones are Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) - not suitable for long term beer storage due to oxygen permeation. Make sure you source HDPE for longer term storage/aging.

Per Wild Brews MDPE has very high oxygen permeation - the chart is posted earlier in this thread. The only 2 verified HDPE Conicals I have found online are the Den Hartog Ace Roto blow molded 35 and 60 gallons models that come with bolt on legs.
MDPE is made from a mixture of LDPE and HDPE
