Stainless Fermenters

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Yep these look like a go-er, put me down for one with handles when available too :beer:

 

[dicko]

They sell them with handles individually in NZ, probably sent over all their initial samples from china
and dumped them here in Australia to get rid of them.
I too will wait until imake release them here with handles, not much use without handles to lug them around with.

Yes, I recently downsized my brewery due to my personal lifting constraints (read bad back) and I cant see me struggling with something without handles although I would run with one immediately if it fitted into a milk crate h34r: as they are reasonably light in weight.

 

[HBHB]

Just to put it out there a 50L keg new from keg king will set you back $120 it has handles in built, soak with pbw, or sodium perk, star san and your done for cleaning, add $20 for the dip tube fitting, you then have the option of pressure fermenting

Yeah, and it'll only add another 11.7kg to the lift. Bargain. :super:

Dicko, pics of the carry harness are up on the website now.

I don't like reading through this thread, it's making me feel like I need one.

I know what you mean. Must not read this thread later tonight after a few beers and a looser grip on the credit card.

You can never have enough stainless.

That depends on the quality of the stainless.

I admit to have been stung a couple of times.

It's already been released in the starter kits Dicko. I 'd say it'll take a while to filter through for the individual units.

Hi Martin, are you saying that the starter kits that you have in stock already have the new fermenter with handles?

If so then I don't need thaaat much more convincing to pull the trigger on one of those. only $40 more than the fermenter without handles itself and includes a few goodies that I always wanted like a syphon, also what looks like a really short hydrometer (is that right?), plus a MJ craft series kit that sells for $40. Might as well put that kit to the test and see if they're good enough to give up AG. h34r:

Correct Florian

I have just kegged my 3rd [Maybe 4th keg from these - obviously the beer is getting better ]

Again, I agree with Screwy 181% - when you clean them there is NO smell, which is a little weird as over the years you get used to the plastic FV smell...

I just kegged a WLP001 I pitched on a half cake and it pushed the Glad wrap in to a mushroom but didn't spill too much - anyway, I literally pulled out the pressure cleaner and power cleaned the ring hole out of it - awesome. The open top is great.

Had a smell - Hmm, nothing, absolutely NOTHING...

I will say again, crash chilling in SS for more than 2 days, and Dave from GBHB confirmed as he ferments in a 50L SS keg sometimes... When you crash chill in SS - the yeast drops like Yob at a park toilet OR like a YoYo heading to a walk the cradle.... anyway, It drops HARD.

I scraped up some yeast cake to re-pitch and it seriously, it was like ice cream. Clearer beer than filtering.

Anyway, carry on.

Cheers

Cocko, top write up mate, in language any AHBer can grasp!

 

[Cocko]

I have re-read my own post and cant understand it - you can thank We5ty's black IPA for that one! LOL!

Cleans well, yeast drops amazingly when CC'ing - is about what I should have said!

hehe. Cheers MB!

 

[Yob]

I'll be over shortly, Ive been waiting all year for you to say that

[HBHB]

I ain't got nothin '

LMFAO

 

[Cocko]

You should try one HBHB, if only they had handles!!

LOL!

 

[HBHB]

Mine's got a carry strap.

Should add. The starter kits containing the ones with handles are unavailable for about a month.

 

[Batz]

Why are some brewers modifying the tap? What's the problem with the one supplied?
