Stainless Steel Conical Fermenters

[Vossy1]

Another question, I forgot to ask before
Are the volumes 'fill volume' or is the 'usable volume' larger ?

 

[Aleman]

If anybody wants to pop in and see the quality, our kettle is constantly on!

Jesus knew a guy like you apparently

Must admit if that is 100L Useable . . . . No . . . I . . . . Mustn't . . .

We can supply them as 30L, 50L, 65L and100L and 150L capacities. I would add that these are working cpapcities and include for 15/20% head space. (ie the 30L fermenter actually has a brim full capacity of 35 Litres)

Big decision Tony but I would go with the conical more economical, you would certainly get more Gallons to the mile in that thing :lol: :lol:

And when have you been able to ferment beer in a car :whistle: :whistle:

These really are lovely fermenters, and I believe the quality to be second to none.
Tony, if you wish, I would bring one up to Manchester in the back of the car for you to see.
If you don't like it, I'd bring it back with me. If you do like it and would like to buy it, then at least you could tell the other forum members your impressions! :thumb:

 

[barneey]

Just a quick question did anyone ever buy one of these conicals?, dont suppose Willis would do a forum discount???

 

[Vossy1]

I was very interested, I asked how tall they were, didn't get a reply
I get the feeling that home brewers are very much an aside to their main business, Tim has bigger fish to fry and they're beauties

Judging from the latest upto date info Tim sent 1098mm for the 65ltr & 1328 for the 100ltr

How the hell could I have missed that :wha: thanks b
I think I must be going blind judging by yours and JC's replies
Shame really as I genuinely had missed the info

Vossey,
I take it from your blog you went down the plastic route in the end?, if you dont mind me asking how much did the plastic builds cost (tanks + fittings)

Cheers

I have, but they're not finished yet and I'd still like stainless :P and I might still need more fittings for them...I don't really know as I've not looked at them for a couple of months. I think Aleman has one in use, unclepumple does also, they might be able to give you an idea on costings.

Followed this brew porn from another thread and having now calmed down a little was curious about temperature control. Don't think anyone posted about this. I currently use plastic fv's in a brew fridge and like the ability to control temp fairly carefully. How would/do you guys do this with conicals this size? The size I prefer (65l) is too big for my fridge at over 1m.

 

[Aleman]

Basically the easiest way to do it is to suspend a stainless cooling coil (product coil from a bar chiller) in the wort and drive it from a python chiller. Control the operation of the python pump with an TC-10 or STC 1000 . . . Heating can be done with a heat belt wrapped around the lower 8" of the cone (just above the yeast 'cake') again controlled by the TC-10/STC1000.

Another alternative would be a thermostatically controlled fridge . . . if you can find one big enough to fit the conical in.

Or make a chamber out of Kingspan or Celotex and arrange some form of cooling in that

 

[orlando]

Is the chiller required because of the bigger thermal mass and the exothermic rise in temp or just for the warmer brewing months, in other words would it be required all year round?
