Conical fermeter

[lstewartff]

Has anyone used the FastFerment conical fermenter. If so do they work good and is the wall bracket strong enough to not worry about falling off the wall? Have you had any other problems. I was looking at them and my wife saw it and said "you need one of those" so I better take advantage of this.

I had to pleasure of seeing one in action. It was not wall mounted but in the separate stand you can purchase. Neat idea. Bit expensive for what it is.

They're cool looking. But keeping them cool is another story. They can't be placed in a ferm chamber that easily.

Found these and with some pressure fittings and known how you could have something better. In don't like the angle of the FF...too steep.

I would like some information as well. I am considering ordering one. seems like a great deal compared to the SS products which are $300 plus.

I like that and it has a 3/4" threaded outlet so it would be easy to set up. Wish it was 6 gal. I guess you could use two of them. Anyway I bought a fast ferment so maybe I can tell everyone how I like it.

Been happy with mine so far, four batches though, custom chamber for them, which isn't too bad as I can use my other for cold crashing, make sure you clean up the flash on the threads and make the top edge straight and you're good to go, there is a couple of threads covering these.

I was checking them out for a while now and thought they were cool for the price but think if I ever do something more than buckets and better bottles I'd do the SS Brew Bucket. A bit more but stainless.

They have all sizes.

The thing I like is you can dump the trub and then collect the yeast. The brew bucket cant do that the tube is to high on the bucket. I see that as a huge advantage no racking to a secondary. So really you have to compare it to a conical which is going to be 3x the price
