    New 7 gallon conical fermenter coming this month

    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.

    New 7 gallon conical fermenter coming this month

    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...

    New 7 gallon conical fermenter coming this month

    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...

    Looking for Irish Red

    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

    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.
