This bad boy came in yesterday. I can't wait to use it.
Also finally got to try my last batch. It was a New England IPA with Mosaic, Citra, and Cascade hops and clocked in at 6.16 ABV. It came out so-so with a little more sediment than I would have liked. This new fermenter should help out with that. For those of you with a conical fermenter, do you still do a primary and secondary fermentation or just one long one?

Here is my take on the brew bucket which I have used for 8 batches now. Buy the domed lid if you really want to get 7.5 gallons in there. With a flat lid, there is no head space with 7.5 gallons. Along with the domed top you will need the 3" TC (blow off cap) and a 3" tri-clamp too....they may come with the purchase of the domed lid but verify this. Second, the valve tube inside the bucket that rotates is very narrow. Out of my 8 brews it has clogged while transferring to a keg probably 6 times. Brewing a Neipa with all the dry hops almost guarantees clogging. I have a brew fermenting right now that as an experiment I used a big grain bag to contain the dry hops. Last, the lid clamps are very flimsy. I had a blow off tube clog and the pressure build up deformed 2 of the clamps such that they are not usable now. I now use some large paper clamps to hold it shut.
