Hello,
Has anyone converted a 5 gallon water bottle to a conical fermenter? I like the idea of removing yeast through the bottom of the fermenter and I can get the bottles for free.
I was thinking about using pvc glue to add a fitting at the opening and then adding a small bulkhead on the bottom for a blow off tube. Water bottle would then be put on a stand upside down in a water bath.
Does this make sense? Is there anything I should watch out for?
