I will tell it like it is: I have the one you mentioned with the weld-free PITA fittings and gasket. It was my standard fermenter. Then I was lucky and won the Brewhemoth in the HHHC. After taking possession of the Brewhemoth, my other stainless conical is for sale. It is a piece of junk compared to the Brewhemoth. SOOOO for anyone wanting a 14 Gallon Fermenator, I have one I want to get rid of!Why would Brewhemoth want to enter the market when smaller fermenters are already available with many manufactures selling them?
Most brewers I know have expanded to larger capacities beyond those 14.5 gallon ferms the 22 gallon Brewhemoth fits this need as well in price.
I worked with a POS keg I rolled a cone on and tigged together, it will be given to a friend starting out.
With the great price Dale and Josh are offering plus built like a tank what's to hate?
I looked at a $799 on sale 27 gallon ferm long ago, I would of felt fleased if purchased as I didn't like it's features, "weld-free" fittings a PITA take apart plus the large $28 seal replacements more to go wrong or leak over time JMO.
Good thing I waited then these 22 gallon units became available, great timing I can have two I like vs one I would not like plus around 40 gallons net.

boo boo, any dislikes about your Stout fermenter? I'm considering one.
After adding my own butterfly valve ...
Dunno if you have one already but check out this sexy biatch that I have at the bottom of my fermenter. The body is held together by a tri-clamp instead of bolts, so its easy to disassemble every time. In use it's actually not 'extremely' easy to get back together, but easy enough. It'll probably break in (the silicone seal) better over time.
It's from StPats @ $75.
DEFINOX is one brand I use besides the Asian made.I'll locate Tri-Clover valves I know replacement seals will be available for a long time.
I saw those valves as well standard bolt together butterfly valves, noticed their replacement seals fit their valves only not standard Tri-Clover butterfly valves.
Tigeranteater, Your PM box is still full. I'm interested in the Blichman.
Does anyone have a 1 1/2" Tri-valve they can measure as i'm looking for the port centerline to valve outside body measurement?
That the valves maximum body diameter of 3" correct?
If allowing 1 1/2" ground clearance using 3" diameter (1 1/2" butterfly valve body diameter) to ground the the Brewhemoth off the bare welded 4" Tri-Clamp I get a height
of 34 1/2". Add a 4" cap with short 90 degree fittings I bet a Brewhemoth can fit into a 36" tall fridge space or other compartments. It would fit inside my 1947 Philco fridge without modifying the fridge.
Hey, I started a thread asking about the Penrose kettles. If you've brewed with it yet (or even if not but have some input) I'd love to hear it.
just wanted to give these guys some more cred. here are some pictures of my new 22 gallon kettle, soon to be one mean electric kettle!
absolute pleasure to deal with you guys.
This. I have been searching for an insulated s/s mash tun - or any insulated stainless vessel to convert to one - and no one in the US seems to manufacture one. I found some in the UK, but nothing available here.You know I was looking at that kettle, Josh and Dale, and you could put a false bottom in that, jacket insulate it and create a MASH TUN capable of holding mash temp and able to make large batches.
now take a 15.5 gallon keg and apply 150 psi to it
I can do that..... with my 15.5 gallon Cornelius keg.... :fro:
(actually, I think corny's are 130 PSI)
SankePanke, that's a great trick morphing your Synergy brewing systems 15.5gallon 60 psi max bier keg fermenter into a Cornelius keg with its pressure ratings. I know a 5 gallon corny wall thickness is only .025" or 23 to 24 gauge thick.
Can you morph me a couple 1967 Honda Civics into 917 Long Tail and Short Tail Porsches for me, i'll take both please.
I see your happy with your purchase as you own a Synergy fermeter,
i'm happy with a Brewhemoth hence I have one, make it a second one in the near future. Prost.
Well these do look good. Might have to sell off my 14G blichmanns. Oh and I don't think they made civics 'till the 70s....
How does the top port work if you don't get a 4'' tc custom?
