I'm presently putting together parts lists for my 300L (gross) plastic conicals.
Just wondering how necessary it is to include a racking port on vessels this size, as I've never fermented in anything larger than about 60L before this.
As best I can see, I should just be able to dump all of the yeast and trub out the dump valve at the bottom, then transfer to the brite tank out of that.
If possible I'd like to avoid using a fairly large bulkhead fitting on the (curved) side wall of the fermenter. Especially since I'll want to remove it regularly for cleaning. (Not to mention that it'll save some money on fittings.)
Thanks for any advice you all might have!
