I bought one of these initially to replace one of my my ten year old plastic conical fermenters and was encouraged enough to buy a second to replace the other. I've used both fermenters twice now and the results have been perfect. Pros: Great cost compared with many other stainless steel conical fermenters. Very robust quality. Should last for years. Easy to clean. Definitely easier than plastic. Cons: No temperature gauge. Fortunately, I can remove the ones I already have on my old plastic fermenters and fit them. No yeast drain tap. I was worried this would make them heavier and therefore more difficult to clean but in fact, once the wort has been removed, the unit is light enough to rinse out with a hose and tip into the sink. No plastic feet on the legs and the steel tubing is very sharp. Probably a good idea to put something underneath if it's on a nice kitchen worktop. Overall, I'm very pleased with the two fementers I've bought. Conical fermenters are far easier to use than flat bottomed ones and these are perfect for any newcomer to home brewing.

Excellent very robust product exactly as described. Good seal provided and adjustable position for outlet pipe.

Successfully replaced my fermentation buckets, good quality fast delivery. A few sharp bits on the joins which sandpapers out easily. Overall an excellent product. I purchased a second one this was so good.

I haven't used this product yet , however it is everything It says on the tin. It appears to be robust and I like conical base which will mean I should be able to draw off the beer without disturbing the inhibited yeast too much.One small quibble though,it didn't arrive particularly clean.

This fermentation bucket is a good value for home brewing. The conical bottom will provide space for trub to settle. Contact with the wort is minimized so avoiding transfer to secondary is possible. There is a gasket which fits in the lid nicely to provide a tight seal. The stainless steel is polished and the welds look good. There are two tri-clamp ports welded into the unit. One is on the conical surface and the second in in the lid. They also include a small ball valve and a plastic air-lock with a rubber plug. The leg bottoms have no caps - this was the first thing I added to avoid scratching my brew counter. Easy fix. There is a racking arm provided for the lower tri-clamp. I used my own tri-clamp elbow on the lid as a blow-off during the initial fermentation phase, but the plastic air-lock fits snuggly in the lid. For the price it's built well. Pictures show comparison to Spike Brewing 7 gallon conical which I consider the best home brewing fermenter on the market. Shipping was quick, packaging was adequate.

Ok..first off, I received the product with a broken handle on the spigot. It is plastic (the handle) but I can manually move it so it's not a total loss. the Stainless seems to be of good quality and pretty heavy. Notice I think this is an URN that hasn't been modified with a heating element as of yet. You can see the bottom which places the pot about 3 inches above the ground. It is spot welded on. Average quality but solid. Notice the Silicon gasket that is removable. This is fine for cleaning. Not sure what you do if it gets damaged though. The included airlock is a solid plastic bung (well..a plug) which really doesn't look like it will be sanitary. It's banged up. I measured for a replacement rubber bung and I think a #6.5 might work and then just add your own airlock. Notice that the spigot is just put on in a weld less fashion. Not sure the size of the hole but i assume you could remove it and put on a quality / standard hardware. The included one probably will work fine with some silicon tubing.. Just Star San the beast for a while. I assume this is a get what you pay for and for those who have been looking at "real" stainless fermentors (sic SSBrewtec etc. ) the $50 savings may be worth it.. but you get what you pay for. We shall see what happens after the first live run of it.

This is a good starter conical fermentation tank. The welding isn't brilliant and there are some sharp metal edges. The product did not come with rubber seals for the attachments so there second I filled it it leaked everywhere. I had to empty product out and go and buy some quickly. Value for money yes but quality is lacking slightly
