MoreBeer is redesigning their conicals (I believe primarily the lid) right now. They are saying that the new models will be available in October sometime. They have also said that an upgrade kit will be available for people who own the older conicals. Just something else to keep in mind.

I built this one for several reasons

Stainless steel is going to keep going up in price. In 5 years your fermenter will be worth more not less. If you are doing 10 gallon batches, you can do mult. batches until you fill your fermenter. I wouldnt recommend the one i built but i would recommend Yuri rages dIY Conical. I think his is 24 gallons and that would be perfect for two batchs.
No matter what conicals are fun!

I have the 7.1 gallon Blichmann which is nice but I hardly use it anymore. I think I am going back to carboys for several reasons.

I'm on the fence about upgrading to a conical. Brew-boy....Why would you go back to a carboy after having a Blichmann???

I am wondering why I didn't see a post about these guys? http://conical-fermenter.com/ Is anybody using one of these? I am very impressed and aiming at one of these. Tri-Clover fittings and MUCH better priced over the Blichman?

I've seen them on e-bay before. I think they're made in China. I think that may be part of the reason, since I'm not sure of the quality that they are made to.
