Purchasing a 27 gallon fermentor - Need advice

Hi,
I am looking to purchase a 27 gallon stainless steel fermentor and have narrowed it down to two. Both are the same price so I am more concerned about the quality of each fermentor and the company's customer service more than anything. Plus I will be ordering additional items such as a larger brew kettle, etc. from which ever company I purchase the fermentor from.

Williams Brewing – Fermenator Fermentor

Northern Brewing Company – Blichmann Fermentor

They both look very similar. Very few reviews I could find. Anyone ever purchase or deal with either of these companies or have any advice? This is a pretty big investment so any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Bill

Williams customer service is the best!

Stout has one cheaper and IMO better.

I agree that the Stout products are a tremendous value.

Thanks for the feedback and advice. Much appreciated.

Either company will provide great customer service. However, I vote for taking a look at the Stout products.

What do you think makes the Stout fermentor better?
