Wanted: Conical Fermenter

I need a conical fermenter, preferable stainless and larger than 6 gallons. But I'll consider anything. The only thing keeping me from making more beer and wine is the hassle of transferring/racking/carboy cleaning. I can pay cash.

Thanks,

Jordan (aka Sara V.C.A.)

 

I've got a plastic conical that was used by a local brewer, until they upgraded to stainless. It includes a thermometer and gasket for the lid. E-mail me at media@thebeercellar if you're interested. Shipping might be expensive, though!

 

OK, sounds good. I replied to the address in the email.

Thanks!

 

Sorry, I should clarify: I'm looking for something used, in the $100 range (since a new 8-gal. costs about $200).

Thnaks all,

J

 

Anyone here used a plastic conical fermenter? What do you think is convenient to use plastic or the stainless conical fermenter?

 

I use plastic conicals.  Cheap, easy to clean, easy to find, need I say more?

You found 8 gallon stainless steel conicals for $200?  I believe there are only two companies that make the stainless steel conicals in homebrewer size.  The funny thing is the 7 gallon is just under $500, for $20 more you can get the 14 gallon...whats up with that, ha.  Good luck finding a stainless conical for $100...

True, stainless would cost more. I found a new plastic 8 gal MiniBrew for around $200. I'd like to buy a used plastic one for $100. Stainless I would pay more for, of course, since it would be worth more. Like I said, at this point, I'll take anything.

 

I recently purchased a new conical fermenter, (6.5 gal plastic), from an online auction for 140.00.  Shipping wasn't much either, just 14.  You may be hard pressed to find one for less than that.  Good luck though.

 

any opinions about the conical fermenters plastic or steel?
