I bought a Spike CF5 Conical Fermenter with the intent of using it with a Stasis glycol chiller. Unfortunately, the Stasis turned out to be way too loud for my apartment - and the CF5 turned out to be too big for my fermentation fridge. While I still plan on buying a glycol chiller someday, it's unfortunately going to have to wait until we buy a house.
That said, the CF5 is basically brand new -- all that it has been used for is a "test chill" of water with the Stasis. It includes all the original accessories and is ready for use in brewing. I've also got a number of accessories I purchased for it and while I'm not interested in "parting out" the accessories I am more than happy to sell all/none if someone wants to buy them alongside the fermenter.
(Pictured with the optional insulated jacket, leg extensions, bracing shelf, casters, and racking arm)
The CF5 unitank was originally $550 - I'd be willing to sell it for $450 + shipping. I checked how much it would cost to ship from NYC to Central VA, and UPS was showing ~$40 so you'd end up saving ~$60 vs. buying from Spike by my estimation.
For the accessories, I've got the following (but haven't estimated shipping just yet:
Pricing on this is firm - I'm listing it more to free up space in my apartment, but if it doesn't sell I'm just going to end up storing it until we buy a place. Seriously - this thing is awesome - it just needs a cooling rig or fridge large enough to fit it!
Edit - I previously had the bracing shelf & temp control coil listed as well, but shipping kills both of these as they will have to be shipped in separate boxes. Your best bet if you want these is to actually order these together from Spike directly -- unless you want to pick everything up in Queens. If you do, pricing is as follows:
