Calm down lads! so they're basically cheap chinese/indian thin wall construction. OK so as a fermenter fine, as Mr JT says. Yeah I'd add a tap and being SS, it'd be easy to strip down and boil!
Failing this solution anyone like to recommend a fermenter solution that is not a glass carboy or plastic bucket?

So you really want a stainless fermenter Martin ? If you don't want to splashout on a conical, what about a keg ? I think Sparky is using a converted 50 litre keg and I know that some people have used cornies

Hi
yeah you're right. I bought one of these only to discover exactly that. But the rubber bottom is attached to the keg by 3 bolts welded onto the keg so I atttached some metal feet for it to stand on, it works fine.
Bit pricey though I paid $40 for mine if I remember correctly.
