20 gallon wine fermentor

Wed Jul 16, 2008 12:22 pm

Anyone ever use on of these to ferment beer in? I know it's "open" in that the lid doesn't seal tightly, but it still has a lid.

That things going to be almost impossible to move...luggin' 5 or 6 gallons around is rough some days.

I was thinking for 10-11 gallon batches. I'd keep it stationary and bring the cooled wort to it. How may people move their conicals around once they're filled?

It should work fine as long as the lid has a rim that goes over the side of the fermenter. The MiniBrew conicals do not have a seal around the tops... seems to work for them.
