Fermentation Trap's P.E.T. Conical Conversion Kit
« on: January 17, 2012, 05:55:39 PM »
A couple weeks ago I decided to make a conical fermenter out of a Better Bottle. After locating the parts I returned to the store unsure if I would succeed. After 2hrs. of working with my parts, I assembled the first known P.E.T. Conical Conversion Kit (Patent Pending). I filled it full of water to test it and it held water for three days. I attached the 1" hose to the ball valve and let it flow. It worked beautifully. I now have my first batch of beer fermenting in it. I have applied for a patent on this PET Conical Fermenter Conversion Kit. I will soon be selling this kit here at the store. I'm waiting on a company to manufacture the stand I designed for my fermenter. It will be the most economical conical fermenter on the market. You will be able to see the yeast as it flows to the ball valve and know exactly when to stop the flow so that you won't waste any beer. I am very excited about this gadget and hope that it is a hit in today's market. If you get a chance, stop in and check out the prototype in action. I will be loading pictures on my site soon. CHEERS!!!

It looks fantastic in action.  Neat invention, Kenny.

Any update?
I'd love to see pictures. (Or am I missing them somewhere?)

I have pictures on my phone but couldn't figure out how to load them here.
I will show them at next weeks meeting. I'm still testing it. I will have to
make a couple of changes to it. I'm also waiting for my stands to be built.
