Hopcat Conical fermenters

[chambkan]

Anybody using a Hopcat conical fermenter. I keep looking at the 32Litre but ....

Obviously its 304St/st - anybody having corrosion issues?
0.6mm stainless - is the build quality OK

any thoughts anyone before i take the plunge??

thanks

If you look at reviews of the Angel Homebrew stuff, pretty sure it’s all from the same factory in China just different branding

They are good quality for the price, if I didn't have the snub nose fermenters that would be my choice. It is also possible to make a few alterations and apply some pressure, as long as you don't try to use the clips to retain the lid at pressure. They will break the spot welds.
