Has anyone tried a cone insert in their non-conical fermenters? If one were to fabricate a 60 degree cone to put inside the fermenter, would the yeast settle out in the cone, and let you dump the trub with the bottom valve to clear the beer and make an easy secondary? This could turn the Sankey fermenters into almost-conicals, at least as far as the yeast knows. It'd be a hell of a lot easier than TIG welding a cone to the fermenter.
The cone wouldn't be liquid tight, so the beer/wort would be on both sides.
Thoughts? Give it a shot? Or tried and didn't work?
