Cheap Plastic Conical Fermenters

[Breadontap]

I'm sure someone has already posted a link to this but this is the first I have seen of this place. Has any bought a Cone bottom plastic tank from plastic mart? They seem pretty cheap if you don't mind using plastic.

Use 110 gallon in my brewery for the price you cant beat them and adding attachments is a breeze.

Nice. Thanks for the response. Did you buy their stand or build you own?

I just got theirs. Unless you are looking for a custom setup just grt the metal ones.

Check out the DIY forum. There is almost always a thread in the top 20 titled "Cheap Plastic Conicals". More information than you could ever want.

they dont appear to have a way to order online...prices are only good for local San Diego customers to pickup...

I have three 10 gallon DEN HARTOG INDUCTOR TANKS that I have been using for years. Very easy to convert.

Built my own stand out of 3/4 inch plywood.

If you need help I would be glad to help.

This is where I got mine.

how do you guys control the temperature for a such big fermenter? Using a temp. chamber?

I called the company and they said they ship the 15 gallon. price should be cheaper than plastic mart

odd they are both about the same price according to the 15 gallons ones I'm comparing?

I dont know if this helps but I went there last weekend from Orange county and bought the 7 gallon and 15 gallon inductor tanks for $135 total $65 for the 15gl + $10 for delivery charge and $55 for the 7 gl + taxes. definitely worth the drive especially stopping by some great breweries in san Diego

If you are close enough to a source to pick them up, that's the way to go. Shipping on these can be more than the purchase price. Plasti-mart lists the 15 gal for $75 but shipping to me was $56.00 The cheapest online price factoring in shipping was Duda Diesel, $80 for the tank, $27 for shipping. Jump up to a larger size and shipping pretty much doubles for the 30 gal.

As for temperature control - I have a 6' x 10' fermentation room where I keep the tanks and use internal sensors to control the room temp with a software "PID" controller.

this is off topic but has anyone found a cheap way to make a yeast harvester? I was thinking some clear pvc would work but anyone else have an idea
