Just bottled my second round, damn the headaches... 21,784.5 + 5 = 21,789.5

So I am a new cider maker, and do not ferment beer at all. I have been exploring cheap fermentation chambers to expand my product to the 20 gallon per batch step. I have looked at plastic conical inductor tanks and it made me remember, I have a tank similar in shape and near the size I am...

Good to know. Go big or go home then!

25 gallons worth of headspace volume oxygen isn't bad for the cider?

I have developed an obsession with this and am compelled to constantly have a primary full. 21731.5 + 10 = 21741.5

Looks amazing UpstateMike, and I currently have a clone of this in primary fermentation right now. Quick question, do you worry about bacteria on the berries at all? I get that wild yeast might be present but what about bacteria infecting the cider?
