    Spiedel or SS Brewbucket?

    I'm looking to upgrade my fermenter (plastic bucket from northern brewer). It works but the lid is a PITA to get off, and no matter what I do, it always leaks a small amount of crud from the spigot. From my research it seems the Spiedel 30 liter or SS Brewbucket are good options. Thoughts...
