    I’ve been using it for almost a year (7 / 8 brews) and I must say, ignoring the shitty menu of the plc and the very thin steel, it does the job pretty good. No pump speed regulation is a bit annoying but not too much of a problem.

    Had no idea vevor was making brewing equipment! I really need to get back to it. My 15 gallon spike solo setup is languishing in the garage.

      They make a shitton of stuff, from high-pressure air compressors to industrial steal electrical cabinets

        I think they’re a relabeller. Hubs bought two stainless steel “vevor” benches. One is solid gold tier. The other is temu bullshit

        I own a VEVOR rig for my racing wheel/pedals. Saw the neighbor with a VEVOR roof rack. Slap VEVOR on a shoe, and Nike is definitely going bankrupt. People love their VEVOR!

        I know their tools pretty well and own a few, but I had no idea they were way out here!

      I didn’t know either. I was looking for an electric setup with a large brew kettle and this was the cheapest option. I still had to spend a few hundred dollars for stuff that didn’t come with the kit.

    How do you like the fermenter? I’ve had it in my cart for a while, but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet because reviews flagged shitty welds and bad sealing

      I won’t have a chance to brew until next weekend. But I have filled it with water to test the seals and it seems to hold just fine. My only issue so far is the gasket on the main lid. There’s nothing holding it in place, so getting it to seat correctly is a pain in the ass.

        That sounds like it could be the sealing issue reviews mentioned. Please update once you had a chance to use it.
