Conical fermentor EOI

[Judanero]

I am currently in talks with a supplier in China for a 30L 304 SS hopper with SS lid and v-clamp, 2" tri-clamp ferrule fitting on the base of the 60 degree cone.



View attachment 20160708_fermenter%2B30L.pdf

Quoted price is ~ $190 for the fermentor, I have also asked for a 2" butterfly valve which is quoted ~ $41, I'm waiting to hear on the quote for shipping to Port Botany so not sure how much that will run. I was quoted on a local supplier for the hopper only; no lid, clamp or butterfly valve and that was $250 (without postage).

I will be getting a couple, I've asked for a quote on four so looking to gauge interest and go from there... Everything will be as transparent as practical, legs will still need to be attached to this (either TIG'd or a frame the cone sits on manufactured) but that will be up to the individual, the seller has a couple other products that partially interest me so may get a quote on them as well.

Let me know if interested and we'll go from there, thinking of capping it at ten units though until I hear back re shipping.

Think youd get more interatet at 64L?

 

[Judanero]

Good point; there was another thread talking about a modular system so I might enquire about a ~30L cylinder add-on that is compatible with the existing lid clamp.

 

[Northside Novice]

Put me down for one please

 

[Yob]

At 10 units you'll incur import excise so be aware to factor that in also.

 

[Judanero]

Cheers Yob, I hadn't considered that.

 

[Yob]

aah, the ebbs and flows of BB's

May be interested, pending on final costs and others interest
Would def be grabbing the expansion ring to take it up to 64L

 

[angus_grant]

Interested pending final costs.

I'd probably only want the 30L, but might grab the extension ring if cost wasn't stupidly high as future-proofing.

Interested

 

[Jase]

Interested in possibly a couple

 

[Brownsworthy]

Good work Juddy,

I'm in.

over $1000 = IMPORT TAX.. You should see if they will ship for free????

Ouch!

 

[Judanero]

Just waiting to hear back from customs, four 30L ones delivered will cost $244 each so will fall under the $1000 so no taxes/ duties.

They don't manufacture expansion rings, so I enquired about 60L ones and they work out at $301.50 each delivered.

All hoppers include a 2" butterfly valves, a lid and clamp to secure the lid, mirror finished inside and out.

Potentially a couple orders could be made, each time falling under the $1000 threshold to avoid the 10% GST + 5% duty + $50 processing fee (waiting for confirmation this is all above board) so will wait on that info before pulling the trigger.

They are only able to be delivered to Sydney so interested people would need to be able to get there or Newcastle for collection.

Will keep posted.

Judanero, would you consider shipping an entire order of 3 x 60L to Melbourne? obviously on me to sort out pick up and split.

Yeah I don't think that'd be a problem, the only two ports they deliver to from Shanghai is Botany and Melbourne so I don't imagine logistically it would be too hard.

Will keep you posted mate.

 

[sp0rk]

I'd be happy to pick a 60L up from Newy at that price
Love your work Judanero
Also, would you be able to grab a schematic for the 60L version, spose I better measure up my fridge before I actually pull the trigger

 

[Judanero]

Yeah sure thing mate no worries

Will keep you posted mate.

You have my attention at $300.. Would love to see yours Masters when they arrive.

putting a +1 on possible interest for the 30L in Newcastle, though probably dependant on what you're planning on for legs/frame and being able to replicate

also, is that butterfly valve angled to take the bottom outlet to the side, or is that something extra which would need to be investigated/acquired?

 

[Lethaldog]

Depending on when you order( I'm moving interstate) I'd be up for a 60 in cairns if that's achievable!

 

[MastersBrewery]

I don't need 3 maybe 2, so atleast one would be up for grabs locally. Plan is to then have legs and possibly 1 or 2 furrels added at geordi's.

I'm still undecided whether I would have a mate TIG some on ala chronical or weld a frame it sits on like the "fast ferment".

The butterfly valve isn't angled it's just a straight through valve, so when attached would be pointing straight down.. You would need a 2" 45 or 90 pipe if that's what you mean to have it come out the side.

I am beginning to understand Yobs comment about the ebb and flows, it's looking a little bit like I overestimated the simplicity of importing these, there are additional depot fees, clearance fees, a administration fee per bill of lading and a SAC lodgement that need to be submitted by a customs merchant in order to be able to provide a digital clearance.

I am waiting to hear back how it will be packed out of shanghai (container or the like) as that will also affect the charges when it lands, the above quoted prices are as it leaves from over there; it appears there are additional charges when they get here regardless of staying under the $1000 threshold or not.

I've sent an email to a guy at nswports to get some clarification/advice/estimates, the plot thickens.

 

[angus_grant]

I'm out. Shipping to Brisbane would put it out of reach for me.

Good luck guys.

 

[sp0rk]

Still interested to see how they go, may drop down to a 30L depending on final price

And for legs, I'll be fabbing up a stand for mine, much easier and cheaper than getting the stainless repassivated etc
