DIY conical 

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Build a keggle, if you don't need it give it to a friend who wants to brew!

They make great fermenters. I've got 3 here that I plan to do that with as soon as I can get my hands on a 58L one to use as a keggle.

I have most of the parts for a fermenter if you want to take a look.
I think John and some others have a setup aswell.

What's the advantage of using a keg as a fermenter vs a carboy?
