Now able to ferment 20 gal batches. Fits well in a commercial upright freezer. Replaced the lid with "BrewBuiltâ„¢ Pressure Pack with Clear Float Technology" so I can pressure transfer directly into kegs. During fermentation connect a blow off tube to the gas quick disconnect. During chilling remove the blowoff tube and add CO2 to avoid pushing sanitizer into the fermentor via the blowoff tube). Replaced one 2-inch triclamp cap with a 2-inch triclamp thermowell from norcalbrewingsolutions.

What would you use to cold crash the beer (in my case cider) inside this? The TC coolstix seem to be for smaller batches... in fact I can’t find anything universal for cooling 1bbl batches in general. I guess I could put it in a chest freezer? Not the solution I was hoping for though.
I put mine in a commercial freezer (see pictures in my review). It barely fits in my old one (about 4-inches of clearance) but just got a new one where the compressor is on top and there will be plenty of room when I switch over.
Personally I would get a kegerator or other front-loading refrigerator that will fit this large tank. You could apply coils to the outside underneath an insulating jacket and run coolant through the coils. Coolstix would help but you may be able to use a combination of different techniques to achieve the crash temperature you're looking for.
Could these be used to Lager? And pressure transfer?
Yes and Yes. I replaced the standard lid with the BrewBuilt Pressure Pack lid which has ball-lock quick-disconnect fittings for gas-in and liquid-out.
Absolutely as well as a bright tank. I'm interested in it as a MashTun bottom drain too...
