BrewDemon Conical Fermenting System - NO AIRLOCK OR SIPHON REQUIRED - Made of BPA FREE Food Grade Plastic that imparts zero unwanted flavors into your Brew!

Product arrived undamaged in shipment with all required parts. I started a mead on the same day and it's been fermenting for three days so far. No signs of leaks near the spigot (the instructions helped explain the assembly and urged to check for leaks before use). The legs were easy to assemble and despite their size seem to handle the weight of the must very easily. Looking to handle primary fermentation in this one and transfer the ~1-gallon batches for adding fruit and backsweetening later. The vessel is pretty thick for as light as it is. About as thick as a normal Tupperware bowl, but the bottom (cone shaped) part is much thicker and the thickness sort of tapers off as you near the lid. The spigot assembly can seemingly be replaced for about 3.00 USD, but seems pretty solid. The spout fits right into my 1/2 inch (inner diameter) transfer tubing pretty snug--so much I had to hold the spout while removing the tube in fear of bending the spigot accidentally. I really like the adhesive thermometer. Very simple but effective. The wide mouth made it much easier to reach in for deep cleaning before use. One small concern I had was attempting to slide the vessel into the rack while the spigot is attached, I had to tilt the entire vessel slightly to ensure the spigot didn't catch on the rack and bend it accidentally, although I'm not sure there is really anything that can be done to address it. Another mild concern is the included pamphlet showcasing the design and included parts lists the container as a 3-gallon vessel. This can likely hold three gallons but leaves almost no head space, and I purchased 3-gallons of water along with enough honey for a 3-gallon batch, which left me adding more honey than I originally intended. There are raised markings on the rear of the vessel noting these measurements. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the product and excited to see how this batch goes.

Used it multiple times already! Works great!

Brewed a batch of mead, and this conical fermenter was awesome! I do have concerns over the spout still, like I don't expect it to last and won't be adjusting it after install. Also to that point, you do not have to crazy tighten the nut behind the spout. It looks like you should, but I'm betting that's what leads to it getting broken. Didn't happen here, and would still recommend.

Cheap plastic garbage, I cannot recommend this as a fermenter- the idea itself is genius, but the product itself is cheap and poorly made. This all plastic set up is poorly molded, the pieces barely fit together and the fermenter itself is not air tight. The site advertises that they are using some kind of fancy(proprietary air lock system) but that's just false, even when using the bubbler conversion the lid doesn't seal tightly enough. This is a temu quality item they are overcharging for. This kit all together isn't worth more than $15. The customer service is completely non existent as well. Be warned that returning this will be a nightmare as Amazon just forwards you to brewdemons customer service, which again doesn't exist. I'm currently 5 days into an email conversation with them about getting a gasket replaced, now I'm just trying to return it. Trust me, for your money just buy something else. Glass fermenters here on Amazon are pretty decent and a fraction of the price...

Great for both primary and secondary fermentation purposes. I wish there were some glass options for long term aging.

I own two of these now, the spigot is a bit weak and flimsy lost 2.5 gal of mead when I bought my second one, then amazon customer service sucked to work with and I had to go to Brew Demons website. Brew Demons customer service on the other had 5/5 they sent me a replacement spigot along with a recipe kit to make up for my lost brew. I will buy from their site directly when I need anything from now on. Only reason it isn't 5 stars is the spigot isn't sold on amazon, and brew demons shipping would have cost me as much as the new spigot to buy. (about 10 dollars a spigot after shipping)

Perfect for 2-3 gallon batches. One small issue was resolved immediately by a very responsive and helpful customer service rep. I'm on my 4th fermentation in this unit and couldn't be happier with it.

This thing does 2 and a half gallons of hard cider in 10-14 days and clean-up is quick and easy. No need to "rack" because of the conical shape AND if you want to, you can re-use the drub at the bottom for a next batch instead of adding new yeast. Very nice. I don't use anything else anymore.

If you are getting into brewing this is something you should consider getting. Love it, very easy to clean
