    The new DIY stainless fermenter

    Yup I'm building a stainless conical fermenter from a keg. No special tools needed, I'm farming out the welding but we will get to that. First calculate the cone, I like to worked out the math so the arc was exactly 180 degrees and let the cone angle fall where it may. I cut it out with one...
