In case you've always wanted an SS conical fermenter but find the $1000+ price tag to be too much:
I found the Brewhemoth (
http://brewhemoth.com/brewhemoth)
This is a 22GAL SS conical fermenter that runs for about $630.
This thing is made out of 14G SS, and is pressure tested to over 100psi.
There are great accessories for it, like "the spunding valve" which looks strikingly the same as JohnQ's.
Imagine making half barrels of pressure fermented beer; naturally carbonated and kegged, ready to drink in 7-9 days.
I want one!
If anyone else is interested (I know JohnQ is), we should setup a bulk buy of these suckers sometime this fallwinter.
Check out youtube and search for brewhemoth...there are some guys that have added custom yeast catchers, sight glasses, etc for these....they are pretty awesome, especially for that price!
If you think that price is steep, check out the $825 price tag for a 7GAL blichmann conical without pressure capabilities.
