Ooops, sorry. zymot has the right link. I added the 's' onto fermenter. That's what I get for trying to use my memory.

Sweet! 15 minutes away for me. Maybe i'll try and talk the wifey into letting me pick it up!

I think I might get the 19.8 gallon tangential inlet kettle. That's just too cool.

I was going to but the shipping was $82!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's not that bad. It is coming from the west coast.

[lowendfrequency]

Damn, those prices are pretty fair for the brew kettle. I'm with you guys, that 19.8 with the tangential inlet is looking like a winner. I really like the lip on the bottom too. Those are a big boost in burner/propane efficiency.

[Winkydowbrewing]

this is sooo tempting. My credit card is almost paid off! Once I have my own place I will likely be ordering some gear from here to get a nice clean set up.

[CaptRon]

what is this transgential inlet thingy?And no doubt those are some awesome prices for conicals too.

It's a whirlpooling inlet. Basically a ss nipple welded on a tangent to the wall of the kettle to help get the whirlpool going.

[3rd party JKor]

I just got a little unexpected mid-year bonus. I might have to put my order in.

A friend of mine has a conical and regrets taking the lesser dollar option he mentions almost every time how he wishes he bought a blichmann not sure of his reasons but just a thought.......

Just found out these guys are a local company. No shipping costs FTW!

Did he order from this place?I just got a 14gl Blichmann in today and the prices on that site are making me think I may have messed up.Edit: Well throw in the casters and the price goes up some. I can't find the gauge of the SS they are using. I also like the fact that you can pressurize the Blichmann and rack without the aid of gravity.

[nbbeerguy]

Im not sure but he said something to the fact that Blichmann does something differently than the less expensive brands I will find out at next home brew club meeting and report back

[MolBasser]

That site has some damn good prices.MolBasser

After you get used to it the price will be forgotten eventually. It's one BUI that I'll never regret. Harvesting yeast is easy. Fermenting blind gets easy too. Clean transfers are easy and you can primary and secondary in the same vessel if you want. He hadn't come out with the casters yet when I bought mine. So a little DIY. Mine isn't as stable since the casters are bolted to the extension legs. It doesn't have to be moved far at my place though. Pricey yes, but I've never regretted it. Mine's the 14.5 too.Of course I cheaped out on the next and had Swagman do a little welding on a Sanke keg to convert it to a rolling fermenter too.
