VEVOR Fermentation tank 8 Gallon Stainless Steel Beer Brew Fermentor Brew Bucket Fermentor for Home Brewing with Conical Base Brewing Equipment

Great fermentation chamber for beer, wine, or mash. I like the stainless steel and the bottom valve to remove the yeast and sediment from the wort,must, or mash helps with clarifying. Well worth the money. Easy to clean and sanitize.

This fermentor is spectacular. I use it for winemaking, and a friend of mine uses one for beer brewing. The thermometer works nicely, both valves are tight and do not leak at all. my only wish (and not enough to even think of removing a star) is that I wish the rubber feet had a screw or a fasterer of some type to hold them in place on the legs. If you slide it all, one of the 3 rubber foot guards will come off, sometimes more. Just a slight irritation is all (I fixed it with a dot of hot glue).

Great product

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great quality for the price!

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.

Leaks a little bit by the temp gauge. But a little adjustment and it was just perfect. Made an * gallon batch of homemade mead in it, still had problems with particles not settling into the cone / bottom of the tank.

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.

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