Has anyone used the wide mouth carboy from Ritebrew?

HI everyone,

I came across this today:

It's a wide mouth plastic carboy similar to Northern Brewer's.

I was wondering if anyone has used this, and what your thoughts were.

Thanks!

I have one, my LHBS carries them now for $30. I really like the extra headspace, shouldn't need a blowoff tube and it cleaned up really easy with an overnight Oxyfree soak and hot rinse. The gallon markings on the side are handy as well.

I got one. This is also called a Fermonster. It's a plastic bottle, does what it is supposed to do, nothing more. Positives, wide mouth, cleans easy, extra space. Negatives, can be a challenge to lift if not in anything when full, have to use an autosiphon. I prefer my Spiedel, but this one is half the price.

Thank you both!
