Cheap Fermenters

[beerdrinkingbob]

Hi Guys,

No affiliation but just thought I would quickly share that a bargain can be had at Crown Concepts if you aren't already aware. I just brought 1 x 60 ltr fermenter 7 x 30 ltrs fermenters, six taps and 2 x 20 ltr cubes for $140. Before you think Fasty73 has made a come back, i have purchased for a few brewers :chug: .

Cheers BDB

Cheap shit and friendly guy who's good to deal with.
The blue "22 litre Army style Jerry" have a tap hole/thread and due to the geometry of my fridge are fast becoming my preferred fermenting vessel.

Edit: My Jerry's say they are 25L, but they look the same as the ones on the website.

Agreed Adam is a top bloke and very helpful.

Just been looking at the 30 ltr fermenter and it's the same as the one I recently paid 38 large for..... think I sent someones kids to private school!!

The 30L fermenters I bought from Crown are exactly the same as what I bought from LHBS and a fraction of the price. Might go and grab a couple more before he puts the price up to align with the homebrew market

You should be safe, those prices have been the same for more than a year now (there are some old forum-threads about it).

Damn!! I made the trip over on Monday but they were all out of 60L. I got a few 30L and 20L (actually 25) cubes to make the trip worth while. Cheap as of the same standard of the HB stores.

I called him before I left on Tuesday fortunately, he was out then too, lucky I had some time off so went there yesterday.

What are you planning with all those cubes, some sort of lab h34r:

Got the cubes for the big biab inspired by QldKev and ekul. Only got four of the 20L cubes but meant they hold 23L. I dont think I would have the space for 25 cubes...if only :drinks:

 

[DU99]

if i remember a group from adelaide bought a pallet of them...

 

[timryan]

do they all have the wholes to put taps in? would mind getting my hand on at least 1 or 2..

I can recommend Crown Concepts, went by this morning and grabbed 2 x 20l cubes and a handful of taps to replace my older ones. Very cheap and happy to deal in small quantities.

Plenty of 15L, 20L(Cube), 25L(Cube), 30L and 60L fermenters.

Edit: Yes, Time, they have holes for taps.

I am not sure if his jerry cans have arrived yet. Should be around now. I have discussed the issue with him about prices and he doesn't seem to be in a rush to put up prices. Judging by his fishing boat parked inside, he is selling a s$%$load of fermentors. Very pleasant guy. He also had a chest freezer there in the far right corner for $150 a couple weeks ago. Would hold a fair few kegs in it.

Crown Concepts were moving location when I was there last week (to just around the corner or some such), so I didn't have a chance to see much or check prices on barrel-fermenters. But 2x '25L' Jerry cans, with lids plus taps cost me a few cents more than $20.
