This is a plastic conical fermenter that has a couple of clever tweaks over regular conical designs. It's $100 in USD's. No doubt it will be $200 in AUD's or something similar. Has 30 litre capacity. 7.9Gals

You can mount it on a wall or they have a stand.

These guys make the fast rack bottle racks. Pricey but a good idea. I'm just using those cheap plastic crates with wheels for ~$10. I find I can store enough empty bottles for a whole batch in a 60L crate.

I think that is right up your alley! Give it a go and let me know it turns out...

yes I'm interested. But I think if I had $200 spare I'd probably flick it to LT to help with some seed money first.

I like the concept of the fermenter a lot and with a little rigging it'd prolly be an easy thing to make as a project.

Thanks for the thought Glass, I appreciate it very much.

Seeing as how I'm just sitting here w/ a fucked up back I got to ponderin' on this and found these.

It'd be pretty easy to make these into great fermenters that could fit inside a fridg. Glass you could have a nice big one for under $100.
