One of the major benefits of a conical is that it is less work. So to have to do things that add work doesn't make sense to me. Hard piping requires a cleaning regimen to ensure it is clean and sanitary. Shuttling the beer in kegs or pails means you have to sanitize/clean the kegs before...

Hi BrewBeemer - I see your reply. I'm sorry that shipping costs so much, but we use UPS and they charge not for the actual weight, but for "dimensional weight." Since these things are so large, UPS charges as if they weighed much more than they do. And it isn't only UPS, FedEx and all the...

Hi bendavanza, The short versions are special order items, so they would take until June. Our normal lead time for custom/special orders is 3 or 4 months, but the factory is going through a major renovation at the first of 2011 so we will not have custom items for a while. We will have...

Regarding the post about the slow emails. I apologize, but I do sometimes get slammed with many inquiries at the same time I am working on a new production run and/or shipping out a new batch of items. Funny how some days you get very few emails and other days more than you can handle...

NCBrewer 35: Please resend your email - I'm not sure I have seen it yet. Mention this thread! Thanks, John

Hi, I'm a day or two behind on my emails. I'll try to find yours and reply. Thanks, John

Hi, We have these in stock right now. Cheers, John/Stout Tanks and Kettles

I have a 20 Gal. Fermenter in stock right now. If you are still looking for one, contact me through my website: www.conical-fermenter.com. Cheers, John/Stout Tanks and Kettles

Hi, Those are not Stout Tanks and Kettles fermenters. These are homebrewhouse-discount fermenters, made by a different manufacturer and sold by a different person out of PA. There are two significant differences that I know of. First, the thermometer sits directly in the beer...

I have a question for those of you that mention pressurizing the fermenter. Would it be better to have a 1.25" hole, where you could rig up a drilled stopper with a hose barb to press your beer out of the fermenter (the hole is also useful for your airlock), or is it better to have a hose...

Since you have got the conical, and it is easy to do, you might as well dump the trub after a short wait (30 minutes or so) and then add your yeast. It will only improve your beer. But don't worry about it. Most microbreweries I have visited do the whirlpooling in the brew kettle while the...

Hot break and cold break do contribute to off flavors in beer, but they would be lower on your list to go after compared to sanitation issues, etc. Many homebrewers never worry about them at all. It will improve your beers if you eliminate them but, as I mentioned, there are usually a lot...

Fermenting 5 gallons in a 14 gallon fermenter is not a problem. Once is starts fermenting, the CO2 produced by fermentation will blanket your fermenting wort. As long as you keep the lid closed and don't muck around with the fermenting beer, you will be fine. If for some reason you were...

It could be all done fermenting. It sounds like you had a very active fermentation going. You don't say how much beer you pitched the 2 packs of yeast into - was it 5 gallons? Using one package of SafeAle T-58 into a 6 gallon batch, I once had a beer complete it's fermentation in less than...

A nice stainless conical (or two, for $600) would give you a lot of convenience. Eliminating racking and secondary fermentation. Go straight from primary to keg. And they are easy to clean up.

Stout Tanks and Kettles www.stouttanksandkettles.com www.conical-fermenter.com $275 for a 7.3 gallon stainless conical fermenter with tri clamp fittings and sanitary (not industrial) ball valves.

Bendavanza, The dimensions of the conicals are here: http://conical-fermenter.com/products/conical-fermenters/ Cheers, John

The last post appears to have nothing to do with this thread. This thread is not about peliter chilled fermenters, which are unrelated to the conicals here.
