Any thoughts on how these would work as fermenters?

Did you ever get yours?

Funny you should ask. I have another one of our merchandisers that's called a Merch III that has some drill holes and funny lookin tubes comin out of it from last summer. LOL

I just never felt comfortable enough with plastic to seal correctly for fermenting. I'm kinda weird that way, but I'd hate to lose even 5 gallons of my precious liquid heaven. Anyone game to give it a try?

 

[irpinc]

Maybe I'll get that thing out of my carriage house and take another beagle.

I guess, i've been trying to buy one of your mash tuns for the past 3 day's with no luck.

I agree with WildWest. I think to be a vendor, you need to have an available product with pricing

 

[irpinc]

wildwest - I've sent ya some PMs. We are getn everything ready for your order. We just haven't charged for it yet. I was going to wait til we ship. I'll get it ready for ya this AM.

We are in the process of setting up a site for everything. We went from researching the idea to everyone wanting one a little faster than expected. lol

I ordered it late last week. I'm hoping it gets here in the next couple days.

I feel the need to defend irpinc here. He started a thread to ask about using these as mash tuns. Less than 20 posts in, forum members were playing the vendor card. irpinc was quick to respond and immediately set up a vendor account. Here we are barely more than a week later and people are upset that he isn't acting like a vendor.

From my point of view, irpinc was asking if anyone wanted one of these at the cost he gets them from his company. He was suggesting use based on his own experience with the tun, not from a company spokesman standpoint. It looks like irc (the company not the board member) generally deals with larger companies with their products and aren't necessarily set up do business with individual consumers. I suspect that irpinc (the board member) is working hard to get the indivual order system set up, but it takes time.

Personally, I emailed irpinc and paypal'd the money to order two of these. I could have waited until everything was set up, but I decided that it would help him sell the idea to his company if there was a shown interest and commitment.

There are a lot of vendors on this site that didn't have whizzy front ends to start. Kegs, hops, false bottoms, just to suggest a few. Maybe we could give this guy a chance to get set up too.

If I misinterpreted the tone of the earlier posts, then I apologize. There are probably many ways to read them, and I could have read them more confrontationally than they were intended.

I wasn't saying he needs a store front. Just a price. Don't really see how one can decide if they're interested without knowing what it costs. I'd be 100% interested for one for $5, but 0% for $500. That's all. I understand he made good very quickly about becoming a vendor and just think it's a good idea to come with a price when gauging interest.

uwjester - i'm gettin a tracking number on your order. The actual order was put in on the 10th.

I'll get ya the info.

 

[irpinc]

All the pricing has been posted a few times. I'm going to start a new thread this afternoon when I have a few minutes to get it cleaned up again.

Response has been awesome and its hard to wade through everything! Thanks again to all for everything.

 

[irpinc]

uwjest - It'll be delivered tomorrow! I'll pm ya the tracking number.

 

[IrregularPulse]

looking forward to collaborative thread. I may definitely be interested in one of these over my igloo cooler.
Will there be a link post in here to the new thread?

 

[irpinc]

Irregular - your price will be $499. lol

so you're saying there's a chance... (dumb and dumber reference if none of ya catch that)

 

[IrregularPulse]

What was all this 1 in a million talk??

 

[irpinc]

touche...

Parts are coming on testing this bad boy out as a fermenter.

 

[IrregularPulse]

I know it was said that pricing was mentioned earlier in the thread. I just looked at the past 5 pages and only saw one shipping quote, no price. I PM'd you.

 

[wildwest450]

Check your pm's.

 

[uwjester]

The price in the previous thread was $49. Looks like they weigh about 22 pounds if that helps you figure shipping.

 

[irpinc]

I did start a new thread with all the info right at the top.

Hope I'm doin this right. lol
