This is a standard 6.5gal plastic bucket, branded as Ale Pail, for brewing ales, lagers, ciders, etc. May be sold with or without a bottling spigot.
High quality from The "Ale Pail". This unit came complete with snap on lid drilled for a grommet (included) and a lifting bail. The interior was clean, smooth and scratch/mold mark free. Sanitizing will be a breeze.
I am looking forward to my first batch in the new fermentor. A word to the wise though. If you can find one with a spigot you would be better served to get that since it reduces the possibility of aerating your beer when transferring to bottles or secondary fermenters. A minor issue that can be readily fixed when the time comes and the fermentor is empty. Otherwise a great step up from a Mr Beer 2 1/2 gallon entry level kit.

Pros: Larger batches, easy to stack and store, easy to clean,
Cons: The unit I got does not have a spigot to rack to bottles or a secondary. Have to use a racking can and siphon to move beer and wort.
