I looked into building one myself and priced it out. The one from AHS is slightly more but is put together for you, the "arm" is bent to the correct angle and it is cleaner than I could have done it. You just drill a hole and attach the thing. 20+ batches on it and no complaints.

How do you like that as a fermenter? I have a couple that I store bulk grain in, but I might get some more. Also, how much liquid does it hold?

Sorry to threadjack -- where did you guys pick up the plastic fermenters/grain storage bins?
Thanks!

It works great, I put 10 gallon batches in it and there is a ton of room left, I dont know if it will hold a full 15 though.
There is a guy that has then names Doug but he hasnt been answering emails lately. I think I was paying $22 delivered for them. I also use them for bulk grain storage.
