Is there something wrong with these? Why is this only 150 bucks?

abracadabra said:I do think it will make an OK primary not sure if I would use it as a secondary at this point.
McKBrew said:I see they have 5 gallon sizes, if only they made one at 6 or 7.5. Personally I don't see anything at all wrong with these. I'm sure it would be easy to convert one to be a primary, and drilling out a hole on top and attaching an airlock would be a piece of cake. For the price, these would be the cheapest conical fermenters on the market if they can be used for making beer.
