Stainless vessels for conical fermenters

Post by angusb1 »

I have been discussing buying some used stainless pots and discovered that the people I am talking to are also selling some conical type vessels. They are 50 litres and could be turned into conical fermenters by clamping some other bits onto the flanges they have on the end of the cone. They would also need to have their stands modified so they sit the other way up. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll send you the number of the person I have been dealing with. They would possibly be good for lagering as they will take almost 5 bar of pressure.

They are asking £150 + VAT + shipping from up north for each one.

Christ!! the split butterfly valves on those are probably worth 500 quid each easily. What are they, 5 inch?

Only problem is if they have come from pharma you got no idea what they have been used for. And i reckon they'd probably cost as much if not more to convert.

Awesome find tho.
