Wow I'm impressed !
Fast shipping, very well packed very easy to set up. Fermenter is heavy duty and holds temperature well. Not like a regular bucket. All the parts I ordered are not cheap junk. I especially like the ball valves as they lock. I just finished my first batch and it was a breeze. I give this product an A++

Received my 8 gallon fermenter and assembled, well packed. I don't see why instructions would be a big deal as the majority of the components are for the stand. I did over tighten one of the 1/2" bulkhead fittings and tore the gasket but there were spares. I would suggest using two gaskets inside the fermenter for both side fittings. I wish there were volume marks on the fermenter. I used my 5 gallon plastic bucket to locate and mark 5 gallons on the fermenter. Glad I did as that is when I found out the gasket was damaged. I'm quite satisfied and the product and will buy another once I see if my brewing skills justify it.

Received the package well packed, and in a
timely fashion. I haven’t assembled the
fermenter yet. But all the parts are high
quality. Overall I’m quite satisfied with the
product I ordered, and highly recommend the
MiniBrew 8gal conical fermenter.

I have not yet fermented with the conical, so I can not speak on function. I will add a note on the design and assembly difficulties. First...package did not come with assembly instructions, so you are finding your self assembling and reassembling from trial and error. Customer service said they were sending me a copy to my email, never got it. Design does not add ease to assembly. Unless you are a wire thin, long armed person, bulkheads (bottom) are nearly impossible to assemble. Instructions may have been helpful and saved some time. Still not fully assembled, I don't have a socket larger than 1-1/2 in . Edges of the plastic is sharp, wear gloves.

So far so good with my 8 Gallon Conical Fermenter. My first 6.5 gallon batch of ESB is just finishing up. There was plenty of headspace during high krausen and I was at terminal gravity very quickly. I'd say it is a great deal for the money and the parts and materials are all top notch. My only issue was with the large fitting, which was a challenge to attach because the threading on either the nut or the hollow bolt wasn't cut as precisely as the other ones and I had to throw it in a vise and get the old pipe wrench out to force it along a few times. Not a big deal for someone who has a fairly well equipped shop, but for most people it might have been a greater challenge. The other fittings slipped on very easily and went together perfectly. I've had a few minor leaks, mostly because I didn't want to over-tighten, but an extra half turn or so did the trick. Having done mostly 3 and 5 gallon batched, I didn't realize how much heavier 6.5 is, so make sure when you fill it, its where its going to live until you empty it. I see a homemade wheeled cart in my future. Great product!
