I got 2 roto-mold 15G conicals, 1 1/2 polypropolene banjo valves and 1 1/2 nipples. I haven't found the smaller banjo valves you are using for racking ports but my local homebrew shop can hook me up with SS at a good price. I'm gonna make a trub/yeast catcher and see where i need to place the racking valve for a 'typical' 1.060+ brew before i cut a hole in the conical. I'm not doing anything extra to seal the lid. I think that no 'wild yeast' is going to make it through the threaded connection from conical lid, and if the belgian brewers can brew in opent tanks, then I can trust that the CO2 blanket on top of the wort is enough to keep my beer from harm in this conical.
