    Picked this up this week hoping to transfer my current strawberry blonde into it but I'm missing parts, should be here tomorrow. Pretty excited to use it. Build quality seems on par with their fermenters.

    Yeah, it's their 10 gallon version. Probably not worth it to a lot of people but I'm hoping it serves me well. I keg into 2.5 gallon kegs, 5 gallons kegs, and just ordered a canner. I'm hoping I can use it for all 3 and to catch the last bit of sediment.

    It's not jacketed, but they do offer a lid-attached coil...

    Like he said, it has a coil lid I went with. No sense in a Brite thank that doesn't get cold. Should be loading it up tomorrow!

    Got the parts and transferred to it last night. Went great. Set it to 37* and 9-10lbs, should end up around 2.4-2.5 volumes by tonight. Was at around 7lbs on the Brite tank gauge when I left for work this morning.
