I just purchased this conical fermenter from a neighbor who is moving out of state. I've been thinking about getting a conical set up for a while so this seemed like a good deal. It's been around the horn a few times, but still looks good. I doubt if there's much to go wrong with it. It came with a ball valve at the bottom of the cone to drain the trub, a twist valve above that and a thermometer and heat belt. I'm retiring the ball valve and will clean everything thoroughly before first use.
My question involves the lid. Look closely and you'll see there's no blow off or even a hole for a bubbler. The lid doesn't screw on, but just sits on the rim of the fermenter itself. It's a fairly tight fit. My neighbor, who's brewed for a number of years and has made some very good beer using this, says he's never had any failures due to wild yeast contamination. What do you all think of the idea? I traded a case of Lagunitas Born Again IPA for it (and got 2 nice cold ones back along with a long conversation about brewing), so I'm not out a ton of money.
