Did you see Waterworld bro, the Valdez is full of holes, Not a great fermenter...
NASA has retired the shuttle however if we flip that ***** upside down we have the perfect conical fermenter!
I'm still all about colonoscopy bag though...
I keep telling you guys I can get the recycled ones for really really cheap but nobody's biting?
Test batches baby, test batches!
[Side note: Even though this is been a wild and crazy thread it actually has me thinking about doing something fun, I think I am legitimately going to do a test batch in a 22 ounce beer bottle... No joke!]
I drive past about 10 of these in a fuel yard on the way to work every day.
My mother has a 100 gallon propane tank that would probably do quite well. They look like so (mother not pictured):
250 gallon tanks aren't unheard of residentially. I've seen quite a few.
Or even 500 gallons.
But who wants to limit themselves to such paltry amounts? Go big or go home, I always say.
This 5900 gallon tanker can be had for a paltry $7,900.
It's a manly 5 ft in diameter.
It's the second longest thing I'd put hands on regularly at 45' from base to tip.
Don't think I could resist the urge to name it "Red Rocket" and ask women if they'd like to see it.

Conical anyone?
Looks fine to me.

Afraid that ain't gonna work. This is from below, looking up. (And another shot from up top, just to show off.)
We're neglecting a big question here. How we gonna dispense all this tasty beer?
I vote for this. Bellying up for a top-off.

Yep, that's me. Awesome place, nice telescope. Only flaw is that the local beer is Medalla Light (incidentally, there is no Medalla regular).

I think Nasa has a few conical fermentors lying around:
This looks like two robots attempting to procreate...
Dangit!

Who has a guess on how many gallons this is and how difficult would it be to put a lid on it?

I'm going to ballpark about 2 billion gallons.
How about the AquaDom in Berlin? 260,000+ gallon cylindrical aquarium with an elevator in the middle. Or am I the only one who enjoys the thought of scuba diving in an aquarium full of actively-fermenting beer? (after diving in a pool of santizer for a few minutes, of course)

Negative, Ghost Rider. At minimum we're going to need a KC-135R or a Super Guppy.

Post a Google map link or better yet Lat Long cords and I will run it through Kaleidograph and give you a very exact volume! Ahh the beauty of being a geologist/planetary scientist, Cool programs!
This thread actually gave me an interesting idea... I wonder if it would be possible to brew a beer in such a small quantity that it could ferment in an eyedropper vial. I think it would be... BIG in Japan!
That's right. I went there.

Done.
I know it's not fermented in there, but would you really just droplet some in a can, seal it, then open and pour it? NO! Of course this guy made the one can and naturally carbed in it! I just wanna see his tiny conical!!
That's what she said
I came across something like this that was maybe 5-6 gallons and figured I could put a clay planter tray on top as a lid. It would be perfect for a Midas Touch clone or some other ancient ale.
I have several small clay jars that would be perfect for serving. The only other thing I would need are some ceramic swing top bottles or maybe some corks for pottery bottles.

Hmmn, cover it with a few layers of muslin and it would also make a decent fermenter for an Ancient Egyptian style beer! Anyone got a recipe for a sprouted barley bread?
EDIT: Nevermind, I missed that that was the whole point of the original posting. My bad.

Dude!
I still want a big glass pot to brew in. It'd be heavy and expensive, but damn, that'd be nice.
