Just taken delivery of my new stainless steel fermenter, unfortunately due to space and budget restrictions a conical was out, thankfully Brewbuilder make these, and suberbly well made they are to. I nearly took a punt on one from a European based company as they were £50 cheaper even after postage, but after seeing one on a youtube video i realised that essentially you get what you paid for and this should last years, and it even fits in my brew fridge which no conical would ever do.

Re: New shiny!
Very nice, quite possibly my next move fermentor wise
Re: New shiny!
What size is it ?
Re: New shiny!
They do look good, I'd love a 70 to 80 litre one but they are 50 or 100 only

Re: New shiny!
That one is 33 litre, and i believe they are 33 or 50 litre.
Re: New shiny!
Where did the tap come from ?
Here's mine. It just fits in the fridge I use. But I think I'll sell my 50l conical and replace it with one of these. As I only brew 18 litres these days.
Does it seal airtight ? It would be good to be able to filter under pressure directly out of the fermenter to the keg rather than doing keg to keg transfers.

Re: New shiny!
Interested in these, I was looking at a SS brewbucket with the racking arm also.
Whats the dead space like on the 33L ? I currently use a bucket and rack using an autosyphon but I really want a solution where I dont have to open the FV lid in stainless hence looking at the SS brew bukcet

Re: New shiny!
Coffeeuk - the tap set up is a triclamp 1/2" BSP female fitting into a male/female mini ball valve and then a 90 deg male 1/2" BSP hose barb, all from brewbuilder,

https://www.brewbuilder.co.uk/1/2-bsp-9 ... -barb.html
It should be airtight, Brewbuilder claim they are and it does have a nice fat silicon seal in the lid, and they also sell triclamp fittings with cornie keg posts so what you mention should be possible.

Bigbud78 - dead space looks to be approx 2 litres on the 33l version, i'm not adverse to a little bit of tilting to get the last bit out as long as i have a nice solid yeast cake at the bottom.

Re: New shiny!

Re: New shiny!
Whats the quality of the weld like on the inside guys ? is it smooth i.e. food safe ?
Really wanted a conical or brew bucket but it means I would need a bigger fridge and I really don't have the room

Re: New shiny!
Weld quality is brilliant. I'll post a picture if nobody beats me to it
