Easiest to clean bottle

The bottle is very easy to clean. The lock and the plug fit perfectly. I made myself a batch of cider and couldn't be happier. A bottle with a narrow neck is very difficult to clean, and the wide mouth of this bottle makes it easy to clean.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Working speed

Twin bubble airlock not included.

Ordered for the whole set. Came with a 7 gallon bottle and a #10 drilled stopper but no lock. Delivered quickly and arrived safely here. Packaging and product are undamaged. Assuming it was just a bug, but still a missing piece of kit.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • old

Didn't arrive with stopper or Ferm lock

Bottle OK. I have 5 gallons and the quality is there. But my order was missing a stopper and fermentation seal. I've seen this problem in other reviews as well. Hence the low rating. I'm not sure who's to blame for this, but I recommend buying them separately.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Damaged

Incomplete packaging - missing dual chamber airlock and red cap

Hello. Tries to find support contact number or email address. . . not found (maybe missed). Received my new "Vintage Shop - HOZQ8-1259 7 Gallon Wide Mouth Fermonster Bottle with No. 10 Drilled Stoper and Double Bubble Airlock" this afternoon without the red cap or double bubble airlock making the "set" make useless to me.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Works well for home brewing and wine making

This is our second wide mouth bottle from Fermonster. They are great for our home brews. Beer is a sticky substance and yes, the lid is difficult to unscrew, but we always find a way. The large opening makes cleaning easier, and the large size gives us a lot of space and also allows us to see what's going on inside, unlike a bucket. Everything arrived as stated in the description.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Very disappointing. I will never buy a Fermonster product again.

Lid difficult to remove after "turning by hand". I had to use 2 very large pairs of channel locks to take the cover off after hand tightening. Lubricating the thread with olive oil did not help. It is difficult to get the cork firmly onto the lid. The top of the cap where the cork goes in is very thin and doesn't have a good grip on the cork and I think it will eventually break. They sell a "special key" for the lid that was supposed to come with this fermenter, or at least warn customers thatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Periodicity
