Hello all! I've been away from brewing for a few years and gave all of my equipment to a buddy that caught the bug. That being said, I'm looking to start again, having purchased a new house with plenty of room to deal with all of the equipment which had become a problem with my better half (and me to be honest).
I noticed in looking at "deluxe" starter kits online that there are plastic conical fermenters now (maybe then too, but I never saw one).
Does anyone know if they are any good? I'll probably drop the extra 30% to buy the bulk of the equipment from the local shop rather than online just on principle, but depending on the feedback here I am thinking of forgoing Bucket/carboy and trying this out instead. I only see those online and not much feedback on them.
