Hello all,
With fall just around the corner I have started contemplating Christmas gifts. My Son in Law makes beer from kits about 3x/year, and after watching some video recently on beer making I realized just how much work is involved. He makes it with plastic buckets, racking, etc. and know a conical fermenter would save a lot of work for them when making the brew. Want the best bang for the buck, and money is limited, so would appreciate some input from some experienced brewers. I make wine, so do have a little knowledge about fermenting.
Is it really necessary/important to know the temperature of the brew in the primary?
Here are the 3 units I've narrowed it down to, going from cheapest to highest in cost.
1. ss 8 gallon from moonshine distiller. http://moonshinedistiller.com/conical-fermenter-stainless-steel-8-gallon
2. ss 7.3 g from Stout. https://conical-fermenter.com/7.3-Gallon-Fermenter.html
3. ss 7 g from brewing technologies http://www.ssbrewtech.com/products/7-gallon-chronical
Thank you very much for your input and experience with any of these units.
