Could the Conical be made to "double up" as a boiler?
Upsidedown Conical.jpg
Have a 4inch triclover ferrule on the pointy end:
1) when pointing down, the ferrule
goes to 4" to 2" reducer that incorporates the trub removal valve
2) when pointing up the ferrule attaches to spirit column, maybe using a 4" to 2" reducer.
The beer take-off valve in ferment mode, becomes the Boiler Fill valve in Spirit mode.
The pressure release valve on the dome end of the fermentor gets positioned to the side ~ allows the Conical to be gas heated when the pointy end is UP in Spirit boiler mode.
Another advantage is that the equipment for all intents and purposes is simply a conical fermentor when there are people snooping around. It's only illegal (in most countries) when the pointy end is up.
