Anyone have experience with brewing in a stainless steel fermenter?
I recently acquired a stainless steel conical fermenter as a long-desired upgrade to my brewing setup - I've been using 5gal plastic carboys until now, but I wanted to move away from them as I'm a bit leery of plastics leaching out while stuff sits in there for months at a time.
Does anyone here have experience with stainless fermenters? I'm especially interested in any cleaning tips and changes to flavor I should expect. Thanks in advance :)
If you can gwt your hands on a CIP (clean in place) attachment, hook it up to your cleaning solution through a pump and it makes cleaning almost effortless.
