Thanks for the insight... how do you know that to be the case?

Thanks for that, I'll enquire to see what costs these may be... Thanks for all the feed back within the thread ^^.. while it seems some people have their ways and may not seem interested in a new Aussie made fermenter or hydrometer, a lot of great feedback was reieved also... putting together a...

so just floating an idea... what about a more of a rounded square fermenter, with a stackable lid, say the airlock came around the side so another fermenter sould be "stacked" on top... still easy to clean... clear PET, like a BetterBottle... but more of a "coopers" style fermenter in design...
