Pretty funny. I was disappointed when the shirt didn't come off though.

Reminds me of when the president walks in and see the aliens for the first time...#independence day

Looks awesome bro!

HAHAHA!
Thanks

blichmann conicals were a little too tall for these fridges. The stout tanks were just shy of $600 anyway and I've been pretty happy with them so far. The only thing I would have changed would be to have upgraded to the butterfly valves.

btw another option is the 12.5 gallon stout conicals which are only about $370 shipped.... They do not have the thermoell but besides that they are an awesome value from stouts ebay store... they sell them for more directly on stouts website though.
I love my stout conical... ironically its much heavier duty that the ss brewtech and blichmann ones I have seen.

Can't you buy the same size fermenter from blichmann for $600?

Looks awesome btw ��

These are much nicer than Blichmanns imo since they're totally welded (no weldless nonsense) and polished. The Blichmanns don't have a very nice surface finish.

Are these the short or tall style 14.5 gallon fermenters? They look like the short ones.

They are the short ones. They were one of the only 14+ gal conicals I could find that fit my GDM-10's. They have worked out perfectly. The thermowell works out great with my STC-1000+ dual probe controllers. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to upgrade to butterfly valves when I ordered them. I just got my new valves last week (almost $170 for 4). They should be a huge improvement over the ball valves they came with.

They look great. Stout is the way to go for me. I'm planning on getting the tall version with butterfly valves and extending the legs so I can put a sight glass on the dump for harvesting yeast. The problem is that I'll need a GDM-19, 23, or 26 to fit it. They all have 57" of usable height inside.

Are those 2 SS Brew Buckets on the left? Do they fit???

 

[RocketBrewer]

Yeah, they're brew buckets. They fit, but just barely. Not sure if they'd both fit in a GDM-10 that only had 1 door. The glass is recessed in the doors giving just a little extra clearance for the diameter of the top of the brew buckets.
