Anyone here own one of these? I'm in the market for a cheap fermenter

I have the 7.9 gallon one and with a small modification to change the collection ball to a mason jar and mounting it to a base with casters I've been happy with it. I ordered the big one and will let you know after I use it.

Can the 14gal fit into most chest freezers? Not sure how tall it sits on the stand.

Genuinely curious: doesn't putting a conical in a chest freezer make some of the greatest features of a conical useless (access to the dump valve, reduced lifting, etc?

Thanks for posting the dimensions. On Amazon it says 18x18x24. Didn't think it was that small!

Yes, you are right. My question was poorly thought out.

Well, a chest freezer, yes. upright no.
