One of the four clips at the top that hold the lid sealed was not positioned properly. Had to modify it in order to get a good seal.Still happy with it as the price was great vs the value. Wasn't built as well as I would have hoped though.

Excellent fermenter, I withheld one star due to one of the latches being misaligned (it requires a shim under the latch). Other than that it’s great, easy to clean and drains perfectly!

I've been using the fermenter as a secondary bucket. It's really nice because the trub and other bi-products cling to the sides and bottom of the stainless. The valve allows for easy dumping straight to a key. Super easy to clean. Not the thickest stainless but, it really doesn't need to be. I'd buy one again in a heartbeat if I had a multiple brews going at a time!

Best thing I've ever bought for beer brewing hands down. Bought 3 of them.

Very well made, protects wort from any light sources. This make a great secondary fermenter, and great for layering.

This is a great fermenter. I have bought 2. The only issue I have is the volume markings of the fermenter are off by about 1 quart.On mine if the volume markers indicate 4 3/4 gallons it is in fact a measured 5 gallons. This is not a big deal to me as I use the volume markings on my BrewTech 10 gallon kettle, which are correct.

Item has good build quality but is a little short compared to other SS kettles, this tends to only be an issue with heating wraps/ferm wraps. Just something to keep in mind.

The Anvil is easy to use and easy to clean up You will like it
