Would you ferment in this?

The container I got is sturdy, BPA free, reusable came with 10L of spring water and cost 9.90 cap seals it off perfectly and you can see your yeasties at work

EDIT: 12L of spring water *

What siphoning set up did you go with? Anything special or just a length of hose?

I'm tossing up between one of those SS jiggle siphons and the Easy Siphon. I guess the jiggle jobbie might disrupt the yeast cake.

Haven't bought a siphoning set up yet, to get my dry extract in I had to make a paper funnel lol and to get my wort in I had to be ballsy as and tip from the pot into a funnel using a knife to guide the liquid in as the funnel was tiny lol, I will however have a siphon by the time bottling day comes around. I'm just going to go with the auto siphon option, seems like a good investment, auto siphon or starter or whatever it's called and a racking cane and that way I can get the brew out and into my 30L fermenter for my first ever bulk prime

Racking cane, sold as Easy Syphon by my LHBS for $18, plus 1.5m of clear silicone 10mm tube. It's basically a pump and syphon combined. I then attach a Brigalow bottling wand to the other end of the tube. Easiest way to bottle and just pull the end off the bottling wand to transfer FV to FV.
Dissolve your dry components in your wort.
Buy a bigger funnel.

I've often wondered about fermenting in neverfail bottles. They look so sturdy and clear. Be great to see the yeast at work.

I was going to use these but they have BPA so not the best option, what I got is exactly the same but safe

Awesome I'll do that, the paper funnel and that was purely me being unprepared Haha it wasn't my ideal method , I do find it easier to just dissolve enough in the pot to get the gravity right and do the rest in the fermenter, can give the fermenter a good shake and get it all dissolved in seconds, if I had a pot bigger than 6L I'd probably dissolve in the wort.

A great inveatment is the Big W 19L stock pot for $19. Having one leads you into BIAB.

So is the 9L for $9, handy to have both in the brew shed and kitchen.

you will need to find one of the old ones with the 1 in the triangle, not the new ones which have 7

What do the numbers mean?

They indicate whats in the plastic and the plastic type if I'm not mistaken, a quick google should lead you to a key of some type

i believe we use HDPE (2) for our plastic fermenters
PETE (1) i think is used in the 'better bottle' fermenters and has less ability to hold onto smells, let O2 through, etc.
