Is this made out of the right material? Any thoughts? I think I might buy one to replace my carboy, I just keep losing too much beer to yeast gunk and the cone shape might really help me out.

Way too pricey, and 5 gal. volume is not big enough for a 5 gallon batch to ferment without krausen problems. You need to go to US Plastics and do some shopping. I just use their buckets, and am very pleased, but they have conical tanks and all kinds of other stuff.

80 bucks? ehhhh. seems kinda high.

Us plasgtics has larger size conicals for not much more than that.

Can anyone find this in the 6-7 gallon range?
