Mine was also 1.0 I've since started using Speidel fermentors.

- I had a BMB, for lack of a better term disintegrate in my had Sunday morning. It had less than a gallon of room temp sanitizer water in it so pressure & temp weren't an issue. It did cause a very deep cut on my right had requiring surgery & many stitches to repair. So in short stay away from...
