Has anyone used the 3.5 gallon mini bucket yet? I am a small batch guy and the conical bottom and valve have me considering it.
I have some concerns about the silicon rubber base that it sits on. Being that it appears to just sit on it, how is moving it while full going to be?
I'm using one for the first time. I really dislike the silicone bottom. I'm not sure why they did it, must have been a cost cutting move but not sure. Every time you move the fermenter, it's kind of a PITA. That being said, I love everything else about it. I haven't racked to a keg yet so can't say how it's doing inside, but we shall see shortly.
I do small batches only and so the next size up was too large for me. I wish the mini had welded legs, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I would buy again.
Edit: I might add Velcro or something to attach the bottom to the Mini. That might solve my only initial issue.
