Chapman UniVesselStainless Steel Fermenter 14 Gal w/ 3-Piece Ball Valve – Durable Kettle for Wine, Beer, Mead & Kombucha – Ideal for 10 Gal Batches – Fermentation Bucket for Home & Craft Brewers

You'd expect questionable quality from a piece of equipment half the price of it's closest competitor...You'd be wrong. It's made of great materials, very sturdy, and it looks great. I sent an email regarding assembly and the owner of the company himself emailed me back within an hour or two. Amazing customer service. Now, onto brewing some epic mead!

Nice pot. Extremely good value for the money and I'm very impressed with the clamps.It doesn't feel like the handles would hold for lifting a full pot, but you don't want to lift 14 gallons of liquid anyway.This will not fit on most stoves FYI.Valve is nice but moves a lot when turning the handle.All-in-all it's a solid buy.

Ok, so initially, I purchased this fermenter to be used as a "fermenter". However, lately I've been using it as a boiling pot. So I can honestly say it does both, boiling pot and a fermenting pot. Keep in mind, the spigot is mounted in a location where bottleling can be tricky because you have to tilt the pot in order to get all of the beer to drain out. Otherwise you loose more than half a gallon of beer at the spigot line. The Gallon engravement in the inside of the pot helps to know how much beer is being brewed.The downside, in my opinion, is the pot itself is made of thin material. The ball valve, however, is very solid.

Polished surface Easy to clean no chance for contamination line plastic fermenters.Thought it was expensive but I am happy I did purchase it

I live everything about it. We have 2x6.5 gallon fermenters and this is perfect for our secondary. It is amazing!!! I love how easy to clean it is.

When I washed out the fermenter, I cut my finger pretty deep on the lid where the bung would sit. It was left rough cut and needed to be sanded down. Not very fun, but the fermenter seems fine.

Love this thing. Wish I had bought it direct from seller on their website for the deal but as far as the fermenter itself it deserves nothing less than 5 stars.
