Will update when I do more work, still have a lot to do. Thanks for stopping by, cheers!

Finally had some time to work on my project. Built a cart for the fermenter stand. Mounted pump and chiller to cart. Wired pump switch to stand. Installed wort in valve to top of fermenter. Installed airlock/ blowoff fitting to top of fermenter. Finished leak test on previously installed racking...

The threads on my lid are molded into the top of the tank so it is a one piece lid, and I just ordered a large o ring that I believe will seal it for fermentation, I'll post pics when I set the lid up. Also going to be adding an inlet for the wort, and an airlock/ blowoff tube.

This is the company I got the tank from. It is American tank co. They are in Windsor Ca. Which is about three hours from me. They have Excellent customer service! It was not practical for me to drive three hours to pick up the tank, and since their shipping came direct from factory, it was going...

Try finding a local home brew supply store. Inquire about where you can take an all grain brewing class. You will learn a lot at the class, usually only a few hours. Then you will have a good idea of what equipment and supplies you need. Also check out some you tube videos. Good luck with what I...

He'll yeah bro! Way to step it up!

Also gonna remove the stickers and clean it up a bit. What do you guys think about light contamination? I was gonna throw a blanket over it or something........any ideas?

Wish I could have found about an inch shorter bulkhead fitting, but other than that I love it. Seriously, it is like treasure to me.

Added a couple pieces tonight, stainless bulkhead and reducer bushing for triclamp fitting. Next need to add the dump valve, some Teflon tape and do a leak test. Gettin there, slowly but surely.........

Here are the parts I used for the racking arm...,from left to right, - 3/4" stainless tubing bent at a 90. Ideally this would be sanitary tubing which is polished inside and out. I polished this piece up myself with steel wool. Also, I would have liked more bend, but I do not have a tubing...

I looked and I didn't see one.....I thought they only put that on disposables? Anyways, don't know much about recycling other than CRV plastic/glass and scrap plastic/glass when I take mine in for beer money every couple months. I'll make a point too clean it up a little and look for the...

I installed it at the ten gallon mark in case I do any small experiment batches. Any lower and I would possibly interfere with my racking arm. If I ever do a really small batch like 5 gallons, I have some fermi meter adhesive strips I can put down lower, I'm just not sure how accurate they are...

Found some time to install the thermometer. Will tackle the bottom dump valve next.

I harvested a couple weeks ago, cut all the way back, now I have two vines that I let climb again that are 6' tall, will get a small second harvest. In winter I cut back and cover w straw, I try to fertilize a couple times during winter. They still need water, but not near as much.....

Pics of the warning labels and what I guess is the serial or model number

Here is a little info, I believe this is the same tank I have except mine is 35 gallons http://www.plastic-mart.com/product/5791/30-gallon-cone-inductor-tank-in0030-24

Good point about the center of gravity, maybe I will take some steel plate out of my treasure pile to balance it a little, either way, I was a professional mover for several years and can do some great tricks with a flat cart, that being said I should be able to make one hell of a 20 gallon mess...

I'll take a couple pics of the labels so you guys can check it out, it just says some safety stuff about temp, and pressure. I'll post pics tomorrow. I bought the tank new. It is the inductor tank style. I kinda wished I would have purchased full drain, but I read those guys are having issues...

After getting some great ideas from other members I finally decided to give it a go with my own plastic conical fermenter. I do 20 gal. Batches as of now, and the 4- five gallon buckets were a pain. This project will be a slow process, building it as time and money allow. I will update as I go...

Mollebneum coating on compression nut? Hey folks, would appreciate any info you have to give, advice, opinion etc. All welcome. I am building a rotating racking arm for my plastic conical. I have all my parts, but when I received my 3/4" stainless compression nut, it has a gray coating on it. I...
