looks an interesting way to reuse yeast , not for me , i just see 2 more things to clean and sterilize and more chance of infection

Looks like a nice piece of kit. Your ebay link does not show one. Is the link correct

I'm wondering if a FastFerment conical would be cheaper and more useful?

I have 2 SS brew bucket fermentors, so don’t need anymore :D but you would still have to separate the trub and yeast from the ball ?
