Nice inexpensive fermentor
8 gal
I have two conical fermentors that are from Toledo Metal Spinning that I've been using for many years. This one is no where near as robust as those but this one isn't over $500. I've used this for a couple batches and for the price you can't go wrong. The stainless steel is highly polished and easy to clean. Internal level markings are close enough that they are very usable. Separate bottom drain valve and racking/sample port are nice but I wish the drain port was a size bigger as it can get plugged with trub and yeast. The racking port can be used to get an almost trub and yeast free rack to a keg. While the walls aren't as thick as many fermentors on the market, they are plenty heavy duty for the intended use as long as you don't throw it around it won't dent. The gasketed lid is pretty sturdy and "snaps" on in addition to the clamps to hold it in place. My only complaint other than the bottom valve is the sharp edges on the legs. I'll be adding some silicone edge protector to cover them. I also added a couple extra holes through the lid for a heating element and thermowell. Pretty easy to do using a step drill. I've been using this with the 35l Vevor AIO brewing system. This fermentor doubles as an HLT for sparge water. I heat it with a 1000 watt bucket heater. Very nice combo for an easy brew day.

I love this fermenter yet. I just noticed that now you have come out with a version two and in a larger one which allows for heat control as I brew German wheat beer it has to be held at a certain temperature which is below normal temperatures inside so I’m happy to see that they added that but it’s also over $300 to get that giant fermenter and you don’t get the circulating pump or the coil necessary so that’s the only reason I’ll rate this a little bit lower than usual

Cheap but measurements way off
8 gal
It's a bit flimsy in metal thickness but as a fermenter it's large and inexpensive. However, after my first brewing attempt with it I have to say the measurements on the fermenter are way off. I just measured it and you have to fill this fermenter to the 25 liter (6.6 gallon) mark to actually have 6 gallons. Being off by over a half a gallon means not of these markings are right.

This product does not come with a Racking Arm. However, it is well made in every other aspect. I'm gonna have to order a racking arm from somewhere else so I can use it. In it's factory configuration, you're going to pull a lot of trub into your bottles, cans or kegs. Northern Brewer sells their Reactor fermenter with a racking arm and it works great to help keep the yeast trub out.
