This is a great conical fermenter especially for the cost.Very manageable at about the same size as a 7-gallon plastic brew bucket.

Updated: I have left my original story but the end tell my feelings months later.I just recently purchased this product since I have decided to scale up my mead production from 1 gal batches to 5. I will also be brewing beer in the next few weeks using a 5gal kit. Initially unboxing the fermenter looks great, maybe a little dirty. Assembly and setup were easy enough. After mixing my mead ingredients (3gal batch) and pitching the yeast I noticed the following day 2 observations. 1 that the valves leak a little bit at a rate of about 1-2 drops per day. Thats nothing terrible, but honey is very sticky and I worry about sanitation after as they leak from the screws. 2nd is that the metal is thin enough for the fermenter to swell a bit before pushing gas through the airlock, therfore I get a big gas release every few second rather than a continuous bubble. That makes judging my fermentation tricky as I know things are about done when usually get to one bubble every 5 seconds. I could have purchased 4 of the plastic 6.5gal brew buckets with valve for the same price as this fermenter so I give it a meh.Update: I have just experienced my first batch of spoiled mead using this fermenter. I've never had a batch spoil prior to this. I'm going to try and resanitize this and try again but dumping my first 3 gallon batch of mead down the drain is hard to watch.I have since brewed 6 batches of mead or beer using this fermenter and I love it. My early issues were my fault for not doing proper initial disassembly and sanitation. I have 2 plastic bucket fermenters and I greatly prefer this. I've even done 3 lagers in my cold garage this winter. I may buy another.

The manufacturing and quality are great! Easy to set and clean. Good fit and finish. Only complaint is the rim of the cover is a bit sharp. A professional look added to my brewing!

Liked that this came with a gasket in the lid, bung and airlock. I have used this for my last 2 brews and like the ease of cleaning it. Also like that i do not need to siphon but just open the spicket near the bottom and still keep the old yeast and trub from my fermented beer.

I have made several brews and with a quick rub down of alcohol I have had 100% clean results.
