As most of you know I'm looking to get a large brew setup. With the mash tun coming soon, I'm also going to need to look at pots, pumps, fermenters etc.

I'm thinking of a 30 gallon open head drum. Does anyone know if I can food grade similar to these locally?

I think you'd be a lot better off going with one of these. They've received very good reviews, and are purpose made for brewing. http://morebeer.com/products/speidel-pl ... 7-gal.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

yea that would be ideal. I didn't know they made them that large.

Looks like I'll be saving up for a couple

They're a pretty new product, I think. I monitor Morebeer, etc., pretty closely, and first saw them a few months ago.

Yea I seen the before, but thought they stopped around 10 gals.

Almost a 1bbl lol. 30 Gallon fermenter would only be a 25 Gal batch. Or are you insinuating I just get er done.

Have you talked to Dave yet? Aside from the store, I was pretty sure he was gearing up a 30gal system with one of those plastic conicals.

I have a couple of these and they are large enough to ferment 120 litres plus head space.

someone's stepping up their brew game...damn

yea the boys want beer on tap too. So I'm going to price this out and say you want beer here is the gear I need.

Ask at the breweries. If any use LME. It comes in barrels with a 2" and a 4" ports.

NG may, or did have them. Johnanthan may know.

yea I need something I can reach in to ensure it is clean and sanitary. I had access to some of the solid 55 gallon plastic barrels but I'd have no way to clean them.

PBW and bleach worked for me. The weight and storage space was the issue for me.

If anyone wants to do the Uline thing let me know, I have an account and need some boxes and stuff.

This'll be Keith's basement before long...

Stainless are way too expensive to start out. Replace those with food grade plastic lol. Plus I need some more space. Probably best to move the 3 kids into one room.
Need all the space I can get.

Looks like it would make one hell of a bk and fermenter. ..yeah buddy

Actually that could work if you got a stainless drum, added a few fittings and added a few electic elements lol.

After the boil, cool it, pitch your yeast and snap on the lid.

Awesome temp control they got there. /sarcasm

Don't forget about the details.

It's possible the room was temp controlled.

From my pic? Nope, it was wide open (well, separated by a curtain) from the tasting room. That being said, they DID have walk-in fridge areas with other beers so perhaps they were fine with fermenting those at (warm, Denver) room temp...

U-line has open top (snap ring closure) stainless drums as well, run you about $800 each
