Surely you have a fancy pressure washer for that motorbike of yours, or do you ride that on the turbo trainer too :=P
:lol: Everyone's a comedian :roll:

Yes I have a pressure washer. Good idea.

Well, I have just got back from Ringwood with the conical fermenter. First impressions? It's not quite a Blichmann, that's for sure, but it is half the price. The beer valve is going to have to be replaced with a ball valve but ther than that t's pretty good. :D

Oh, and it comes with some strange plastic contraption that has two marbles in it. Some sort of fermentation lock perhaps. That's going and it'll be replacedwith a big bung and a normal lock.

I reckon there is Jon. Looks like the 50l version of my other pots with a cone welded on the bottom so I reckon ther's plenty of room. :D

has it got one of those internal rotating dip tube things on the beer valve so you can draw off from above any yeast level in the conical part ?
