After struggling with racking my last brew to secondary and talking to the guys at St. Louis Wine and Beer Making, I decided to risk $140 on the FastFerment conical. It should eliminate racking to secondary and make yeast reuse a lot easier. I also have a plan to make kegging easier. I am going to mount a cheap boat winch and pulley to the basement support pole and beam respectively, allowing me to lift the conical out of its stand and gravity feed into the keg. It has mounting bolts on either side above the balancing point that will work great for attaching a cross chain and in turn the winch cable. Another bonus is that FastFerment will soon be introducing an insulated wrap that you can pump cold water through to control temperature! I would just have to add a pump and my temperature controller to get the same effect as an expensive jacked setup.
