I'm wondering if anyone is interested in a group buy of some sealable stainless fermenters. Attached are some examples of a 25L can. I was quoted 80$ per unit if i order 50. that doesn't include approximately $300 in freight. All told, it would be around $90-$100 per unit plus shipping to you or free pickup in the Cincinnati area. I could maybe get them cheaper with higher quantity, lesser specs, or if I turned the screws a little bit.
We can order them to any specification that we want (ported, etc.) but they would all have to be the same. Basically everything is customizable. They could be the shape of a carboy if that is what we wanted.
My initial thinking is just go with the milk can design but have a 3/8" hole drilled in the top for an airlock. We could do a larger bung-sized hole if that is what we decided.
Any interest? If you are interested but $90-$100 per seems expensive, what price would be appealing? I could probably value engineer them somewhat.
