suspiciously cheap SS conical fermenter

jceg316 · Sep 26, 2019

I found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26L-Wine...206094?hash=item1ccfab7ace:g:rncAAOSwE3FcvVKO

Imported from Czechia but free delivery. The spec looks good, only lacking measurement markings.

Chinese seller, so got access there, few bad feedback comments, but nothing shocking. But item might be low quality - clamps, valve at the bottom etc.

That's a good point.

The same item was discussed here https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/kitgarn-new-type-of-50l-ss-fermenter-a-crazy-price.82673/ though here it says 30L and the post was discussing the 50L version with a thermometer but 1 of my points "having the only place to drain it in the place it is makes its coned bottom pointless as its not in the centre and there not a second tap higher up" still means its no better than a pot with a tap and lid. Also the welding looks bad.

At that price you'd be better off with an Anvil Brew Bucket in my opinion. Essentially the same thing - albeit the trub cone isn't as conical - and quality will be far better.

Thanks for the link, there are some interesting points here as well as @JonBrew comment above. The tap on my SS Brewbucket is on the cone and it has a racking arm, I don't get any trub in my beers when bottling/racking.

It isn't conical but I bought one of these a while ago and I'm very pleased with it. And it's cheaper.
