New brewer needing advice on fermenter

Well I just ordered one of these after confirming that they are doing online orders at the moment.

Now the impatient wait for the couriers to do their thing so I can be drinking my first batch in about 4 weeks methinks. Can survive on Gin and Whiskey until then I suppose.There once was a man from Nantucket.
Who brewed his beer in a bucket.
He put the wort into there,
to cut down on the air.
Then drank it all up like a muppet.

I want to start making mead commercially some day, so I'm doing test runs now, but ~25l goes too quickly for the time I put in (takes about a month per batch, and it's gone in a week). So if I can make ~100l at a time, it'll last a bit longer at least, but for that, I want to try and use Kveik.

I believe kveik is also a bit more nutrient intensive, so I'll ramp up the feeding as well.
EDIT: I didn't think about the volumetric pressure on the yeast. Will have to look at that. How do big guys get over it? Talking about fermenting in 10,000l containers and even bigger?
EDIT2: Seems like pressure is less of an issue than I figured: https://www.quora.com/How-much-press...ops-fermenting Under 500ATM there's no change. 500ATM, by the way, is about 5,000m of water pressure. Even at full scale, I doubt I'll ever ferment anywhere near those pressures.Last edited by Toxxyc; 7 May 2020, 11:53.

Then they should update their website to reflect that info ???

I was hovering on those, but I have to kill my hop stash before it gets too old. I'm bummed I missed out on the East Kent bulk buy, I hope they do well enough now to have another special :-) Enjoy the brews, I'm stilling this weekend, stripping and spirit run for some gin, I'll tap some neutral off for a bit of limoncello
