I think the Stout ones you see are still the Chinese ones I reported on back in the original post, with tri-clamps instead of threaded fittings. Looking at the photos, the design features are pretty much the same. That, and of course they are $150 more today than they were back then, if you get the one with the thermowell and thermometer. Still a good fermenter and well under the price of some of the other ones on the market. I've had mine almost 4 years now and no complaints.
