This fermentation bucket is a good value for home brewing. The conical bottom will provide space for trub to settle. Contact with the wort is minimized so avoiding transfer to secondary is possible. There is a gasket which fits in the lid nicely to provide a tight seal. The stainless steel is polished and the welds look good. There are two tri-clamp ports welded into the unit. One is on the conical surface and the second in in the lid. They also include a small ball valve and a plastic air-lock with a rubber plug. The leg bottoms have no caps - this was the first thing I added to avoid scratching my brew counter. Easy fix. There is a racking arm provided for the lower tri-clamp. I used my own tri-clamp elbow on the lid as a blow-off during the initial fermentation phase, but the plastic air-lock fits snuggly in the lid. For the price it's built well. Pictures show comparison to Spike Brewing 7 gallon conical which I consider the best home brewing fermenter on the market. Shipping was quick, packaging was adequate.
