It turns out we are able to do 2bbl/62gallon batches on the current setup. That along with 11 gallons of starter to build a yeast vial up, gives us around 73 gallons per batch. Thus the fermenters became oversized single fermenters.
Hello
Glad to see you have those fermenters. I’m going to use them in my nano in southern ca.
Can you let us know how you do your blowoff and also the drain at the bottom?
thank you
Hi LB,
How is the double batching into the 110 fermenter going? Do you not need some head space?

Bryan,
They do not have a completely airtight seal around the lid so we simply put a stopper in the top center of the lid where the vent originally is.
For the bottom we added a 2″ male pipe thread to 1.5″ TC, then go from there.
When you order them have the tank provider put an extra fitting in the cone for a pickup tube. I wish we would have done that.
Cory
Thank you for the info. I really appreciate it.
Howdy,
So how do you drain your fermenters? Do you use the bottom drain or did you add in a side drain above the cone? Photos? Thanks!!

We just use the bottom drain. We drain off the yeast and trub, then pump to brite tank. A side pickup tube would be great, but we never added one.
