I've seen something once before that someone did w/ a plastic conical, and I saw a thread about using plastic square fermenters, I clicked the link and then did a search for conical... Got this as one, for 15 gal fermenter:
Inductor Cone Bottom Bulk Storage Tanks - US Plastic Corporation
79 bucks! not bad! and the stand taht comes w/ it is here:
Inductor Cone Bottom Bulk Storage Tanks - US Plastic Corporation
at 81 bucks... not sure what shipping would be, but most likely less than the 500$ stainless ones that weigh tons more I'm sure...
I guess you'd have to do some tinkering to make it just right, adding some kind of drain valve part way up, and then a bottom drain valve as well, but for 15 gallons of fermenter, that seems much cheaper! no?
