I filtered out of the oem sanke diptube when I started. Worked amazingly well.
I’d considered going back to a diptube right before my -80 died of heat prostration…
Did I mention he’s down the street 
Or was. Now he’s just close by. And supper handy with a tig torch

Thanks bud… I’m not too far away from there …2.5 hrs anyway…will try him.
Any thoughts on these: Buy a 1 BBL Fermenter | FITS IN A FREEZER | Stout Tanks and Kettles Brewing Equipment …maybe put a larger valve on the bottom…
Two will fit in this: https://www.bestvaluevacs.com/so-low-80-c-ultra-low-upright-freezer-30-cubic-ft.html
Why do you recommend the bottom valve then ? just more options?
you did see how the cannabis is taken out of the tube?
…using a garden hose through the single opening in the top of an OEM keg.
That needed fixed…
even with a 6" hole in one end and a 10" hole in the other, it is still quite a chore.
These are the best prices I’ve found for new kegs:
1/2 Barrel Keg (Single) | Stout Tanks & Kettles Brewing Equipment : $108 !

Why does shipping have cost so much for a big ass stainless drum? Hahaha after shipping to here it’s about 180 otd not bad for a new keg but the 230.00 shipped yeast brink seems more functional and easier to clean at least for being a vacuum vessel for filtering.
I like the 8.5g beer pots for the initial extraction because they fit the 5g bubble bags nicely but my next round where in winterize better will be the true test when I load the beer pot with dry ice

yes they will. very nicely.
@Photon_noir’s implementation…not currently in service, one of many such cat skinning installations.
note: these are smaller than the 1bbl stout fermenters linked above. so don’t take my word that you can fit two of them in the linked freezer. I’ve not looked at the actual dimensions on the linked freezer OR fermenters. That said the stout tanks look like they’ll fit to me, and assuming they do, it’s a great solution.
Edit: looks tight, but doable (so I checked 
).
The tanks pictured are 15" diameter. The stout tanks are 18.5". The stout tanks are just short enough to fit in the (linked) freezer, and should tuck side-by-side in the back just as pictured above.
Thanks for finding & sharing that solution @asher!
One should proceed very carefully when drilling a hole in a $12,000 freezer…

You know i watched You all speak out
But i use square box type bins for My washes
Put them side by side with a u over the edge Where they touch each. Other
That way No etho drips on the Floor and more volume in the freezer
They are only 5 gallons a piece but larger works just as good
300 liter sonic baths same trick a U over the edge and pillowcase with biomass

I opted for a chest freezer w a custom built to size tank I got 2 155 gallon tanks for 1300

That’s what the original plan was…to have multiple approx. 15-20 gallon tanks to fit side by side in the chest freezer…smaller size to accommodate lifting/moving…but then I realized it’s only rated to -25C(this freezer), so I began reconfiguring…
Do you pump out of your chest “freesevoir” or ? @Champone
1/4 inside a 1/2 for jacket. 1.5" TC for bottom drain. 5 gal mesh bags. Kept my tincture at a steady -35-40c. With better insulation, I’m sure it can get colder.

I let the freezer get it to the lowest temp possible then I get it colder in wash size batches from there
