I Did a Baaaaad Thing

I've been wanting a stainless steel conical fermenter for a few years. The idea that the same vessel can be used for primary and secondary fermentation appeals to me because I'm lazy. So the other day, I did an eBay search for conical fermenter and found one (actually 60) for $229.

I thought about it. And I thought about it. And I pondered some more. Then I checked my email and discovered that I had bought one. It was one of those "1-800-Drunk" moments, although I was at work and stone, cold sober. It was one of those "Shopping in my underwear" moments, even though I was at work and fully dressed.

So the fermenter is on the way. We'll see how I like it.
