Afternoon,
I searched for a while and found a few threads but couldnt get exactly the info I was after.
I've been using an old plastic fermenter for quite a while now, it's OK but recently getting some funky taste in my brews so thinking of changing a few things up, one of which is a new ferementer. The plastic one is quite stained up to the 23L mark and despite lots of cleaning it retains a bit of a smell. There are some stains around the o-ring that I cant clean so figure it's run it's race and it is time to move on.
I ferment in a fridge with heat control so dont need anything with built in temp control so figured a new stainless steel one would be the go.
Main query is what is the advantage of a conical fermenter? And can I just loop my heat belt around that like my plastic one for the cool nights?
Options would be:
Ss Brewtech (or similar) conical
GrainFather standard fermenter (not conical)
Thanks in advance.
