What you will receive is not what is pictured or the same volume.

You will not receive what is pictured and not the same volume. First, the bucket is not what is shown in the photo! I have a plain bucket labeled Home Brew Ohio! CO2 volume and ABV charts are off the hook! And no label printing! Also the volume of the bucket does not correspond to the description! This is a 6 gallon bucket, not a 6.5 gallon bucket, and the capacity markings on the bucket only read 5 gallons. Very disappointed with this bowl!

Pros
  • Kitchen and dining room
Cons
  • No capacity

If I could rate this as zero, I would!

I have the same problem as everyone else. The picture does not match what I have. Less than stated. A cheap bucket that won't close or leak. I have had the original Brewer's Best fermentation bucket for almost 10 years now. Much better quality than the buckets I just received. Extremely disappointed as I now have a batch downstairs that I have to transfer to another fermenter as it drips from the top and doesn't bubble like it should. I've never had this before. Extremely bad quality and I will

Pros
  • home and kitchen
Cons
  • exchange availability

I would not recommend this product.

Lid is loose. It has no rubber O-ring or gasket to prevent leakage. Noticing that the airlock wasn't bubbling, unlike the other bucket, I started the mead at the same time, checked and moved the bucket, and noticed a slight spill of liquid from under the lead. I tried stuffing and closing it in all directions but the flow didn't stop. I have another bucket from a previous version that I never had this problem with. Another point I would have liked was different: I wish the bucket was wider but…

Pros
  • Home brewery and wine making
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Not the Brewers Best Ale Bucket

The item I received was the Home Brew Ohio Fermentation Bucket, not the Brewers Best Ale Bucket shown in the photo. My order was shipped and sold by Revain.com, so it wasn't a third party issue. My mistake was not paying attention to the reviews of this product as many others have said the same thing. In my case I already had a bucket of Brewers Best Ale Pail so knowing their quality I didn't think it was appropriate to read the reviews. cannot be removed by hand. I skimmed Home Brew Ohio and…

Pros
  • Fermenter
Cons
  • Protection
