I enjoy the simplicity and logic of this design. I haven't brewed in years partly because it’s a messy process. And I try to make purchases that can be used for several applications. This can also be repurposed for making wine as well. And I think kambucha if I’m not mistaken. Knowing me, once I get started I’m probably going to get another one or go larger! Customer service is excellent as well! You won’t regret getting one, I assure you.

I love this fermenter. I graduated from carboys to this conical fermenter and couldn’t be happier. Easier to clean, able to dump trub, no more raking to secondary and you can’t beat the price.

I brewed a Belgian pils and it is currently in primary! Great design, just wish the plastic welds were a little cleaner on the lid. I’m going to add a few tri clover pieces to allow for pumping from fermentation vessel to keg . All in all I’m very pleased with the design .
- TTTom T.Rated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoMy first MiniBrew Fermenter
Haven't used it yet but looks to be of very high quality. Much shorter than I imagined it to be, will probably use on my counter top so I have enough height to transfer to my kegs. No instructions for assembly included, ( mostly common sense ) , but I feel instructions of stand assembly and where and how much if any thread tape is required with the weldless fittings and ball valves. Would like to see an option of a wall mount, which I currently have 2 fast ferments wall mounted. Overall I like the design and quality and am looking forward to using it.
