Polish Plastic Conicals

Post by Wet Spaniel » Thu Aug 23, 2018 8:38 am

I've done a search and there are a couple of old topics RE these fermenters but nothing I can see where someone has actually taken a punt an bought one.

Has anyone had any first hand experience with these? I'll be rebuilding my brewery set up over the next couple,of months and thought I'd maybe get one for the fermenting fridge.

Can't help but the one and only review on there doesn't exactly inspire any confidence!!

Aye, I’d read that... that said I’d me making my own stand, so I’m hoping the fermenter is better than their welding skills

WS,
Have you looked at a `Fermentasaurus`?

They look better than the Polish one, and cheaper.

They look cool! 8)

If you could buy a 25 litre one that would fit in my brew fridge, and would allow secondary fermentation like a normal plastic pressure barrel, I would be ordering one!

.... alas, there doesn't seem to be a tap to dispense beer like a plastic keg unfortunately

Hi. No idea how the Polish fermented work but there's a second hand one on evil Bay at the moment that could be a saving in cost from buying new. I have no association with the seller or the item. Item number 142910528117.

A while ago I contacted - http://tanksuk.co.uk/#products Who seemed to do decently priced plastic tanks.

IIRC the 200l vessel was £120 or so, but that was a while ago.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I like the look (but can't abide the name) of the fermentasaurus but was looking for a little more capacity. I'll maybe hang on and see what the polish mk11 looks like
