craziest fermenter ever

[EVBrewing]

Saw this crazy looking contraption on ebay

That thing is awesome. Get it.

I'm sure there's a purpose for all the extra spouts, but I can't figure it out.

Clearly it's for milking cows!

Id run it for sure. It says its 12 gallon pyrex. Awsome size, but not for the 200 bucks plus shipping its listed for.

I think you might have something there with the milking cows thing. That would make sense.

 

[progmac]

it's a simple one vessel ferment/drink system. after fermentation is complete, you and your four closest friends all get out your long straws and enjoy your warm, flat beer.

Dude, do you have a link to the listing on e-Bay?! Can I get that from you?

 

[EVBrewing]

Ill put it up after i get off work. I did look it up. Its lab equipment made by bellco glass. Didnt bother reading the purpose being i probably wouldnt understand it anyway. Ha ha.

It is a reaction flask/biological fermenter. The center port is for a mechanical stirrer. The additional ports are for the input of additional materials such as by an addition funnel, the inflow of a specific gas, a mineral oil bubbler so that it remains an open system yet under positive pressure at one atmosphere pressure, a thermocouple for maintaining a constant temperature, the ability to remove samples for analysis, a possible reflux condenser or distillation column and other functions.

When I saw this, I immediately thought of the wood beast scene from flash gordon. lol

I cant seem to copy the ebay link on my dumb smart phone, but go to ebay and search glass fermenter. It is the first listing that shows up for me.

Which port for the flux capacitor?

That is where bovine test tube babies come from

That makes sense, but the cow milker collector was cooler!

Of course. Because it's always a great idea to put a big hunk of glass under a humongous hooved animal.

fwiw, cows generally only have four teats...

Cheers!

So you hook the cows up to a milking pump and milk multiple cows with it not under them. Always gotta have a smart ass in the bunch. Usually it's me. Ha ha.

wtf is going on

Just be careful you don't accidentally milk a bull!

 

[Hello]
