I recently acquired a stainless steel conical fermenter as a long-desired upgrade to my brewing setup - I’ve been using 5gal plastic carboys until now, but I wanted to move away from them as I’m a bit leery of plastics leaching out while stuff sits in there for months at a time.
Does anyone here have experience with stainless fermenters? I’m especially interested in any cleaning tips and changes to flavor I should expect. Thanks in advance :)
It’s a bummer that fermenter doesn’t have tri-clamp ports so you could utilize quick disconnects. It looks like you can upgrade the lid to one which will make cleaning easier if you buy a rotary spray ball.
Woah - I didn’t know those existed, and now I want one!
I might upgrade the lid after a couple batches if I get frustrated with cleaning
