That's awesome! Curious to hear how the brew bucket worked for you after the first brew is finished.

So I realized I had not updated on this in awhile. The rocking port on the brew bucket is awesome. After crashing all the junk and gunk crashed into the conical bottom racking off was a breeze. Cleaning was a little more involved. Also what racking off I forgot it vent almost got some airlock juice in it

This really looks sweet! How did it maintain the temperature during fermentation? Any idea how low of a temperature it can maintain?

its thermo electric. so 20-25 degrees of ambient temperature, but during the winter months I was able to ferment at lager temps approx. 50 degrees. it does need an external temperature controller/monitor. I will have to see what I can do this summer. It also will hold a 6.5 gallon carboy. I am hoping it will be able to hold 67-68 dgrees for fermenting ales. I have a different thread I think I put a few picktures of what fit in it.
