Help identifying fermenter

[davehenry]

Hi folks. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what brand this fermenter is. I picked it up at a grage sale a few months back and have enjoyed using it ever since. I'd like to find a replacement spigot and possibly buy another one

That looks like it came from a Cooper's Micro Brew Kit.

Yep...that is a Coopers fermenter. I still have one in my garage. They work great and are easy to clean. I have since moved on to "bigger and better" fermenters but those are still pretty awesome.

Thanks guys. It's definitely not a top of the line fermenter but I haven't touched my better bottles or glass carboy since using it. I was just about to drop some coin on two speidels but I think these would do the job.

That's a nice fermentor that you picked up. I have the same one from the starter kit my wife bought me seven years ago. It's a solid fermentor and I still use it today. It does take up more space in my fermentation freezer than a BB, but cleaning it is so much easier.

Yep it's great but so far I'm finding that I can't buy parts for it and the spigot has some crud in a spot that I can't clean. I've set up a couple of ale pales with spigots and they're almost as good.
