Picked up one of these bad boys just to try for small batches. Very promising so far. Have an all grain ale going right now.
I normally ferment in snake kegs or 15 gallon drums but thought I'd try it for small batches.

7.9 US gallons, it was $100 on a presale. I think the design was taken over by another company. The previous one was fairly well received but was barely over 5 gallons. It's a Canadian company.
They really are a great idea, it hangs right on the wall, I mounted mine so a corny keg fits right under it. A 15 gallon model would sell like hotcakes if they could keep the price down.
Harvesting yeast will be as easy as taking off the bottom ball and pouring it out. So far I'm impressed, I will update when the time comes to keg the beer inside.

I bought it more for kicks than anything. My plan has always been to have a real conical but just can't justify the cost. Mind you,... If I were to add up how much I've spent on different fermenting solutions over the years, I probably could have one now.
