No, that's all I could find at the hardware store and I wanted to have at least some kind of way to dump the yeast. I do plan to find a better/larger plumbing and valve.

I brewed my Summer Wheat/Oberon clone recipe today. This was my first use of the Big Demon fermenter. During the mash and boil times I worked on the mods for this fermenter including leak testing, shortening the legs from 24" to 16", and adding the handles to carry it with and I'm glad I did...

Great story Dan and some great food for thought and I agree the brewing hobby is better once you find your "place". BTW where did you get that shirt? ;)

My review of the Big Demon fermenter has been posted. http://www.beerborg.com/index/2015/07/brewdemon-big-demon-conical-fermenter-first-impressions/

Yes, I had thought about it being top heavy and creating a base with casters on it. Good to know I'm not the only one thinking about it.

You make a good point about the legs. The Base model is the only one available right now with those short legs. They are going to be offering upgraded versions with longer legs and different yeast dump options just not right now. The modification I made as shown above cost me about $8 for the...

I have one and will be posting a review of it soon on beerborg.com. Should be out by the end of the week. Until then here are some pics

Nice article Dan. Always good to share the good and the bad so people know they are not alone when things don't go as planned. Cheers.

Right now there's no temp control options that are going to be offered but there are a lot of temp control options out there that will work with it such as this http://www.gotta-brew.com/products/cool-zone-cooling-jacket.html You can find more info & photos here...

Just got a pic of the final product. This is the "base" model. but there will also be other versions with other accessories. Also the article has been updated with measurements

It's been a long time coming but it looks like BrewDemon 7 gallon conical will finally be available. http://www.beerborg.com/index/2015/04/brewdemons-big-demon-is-almost-here/

I've done this one a couple of times and the guy I got it from has it in his regular rotation. This one is like a Smithwick's with color! http://www.beerborg.com/social/blogs/post/4

Tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of this deal! Did anyone else sacrafice their LBK to get a BD LBC (Little Brown Conical)?

Just wanted to share my first taste of the BrewDemon Wild Spirit IPA that I brewed with with the new conical fermenter! Besides looking good it actually tasted pretty damn good too! This is not a hop monster beer by any means but it has a decent amount of hop flavor and bitterness to make it a...

The Mr. Rootbeer kit that I have didn't come with a keg fermenter. The only other thing that you might be able to use is the clear keg that Mr. Beer makes for their Cider kits.
