I own two little big mouth bubblers that I use regularly. They are great for any ferment that calls for lots of solids or you want a little move volume so you can really get your secondary properly topped off. But these fermenters have a huge flaw; they almost never seal or stay sealed. The lids really don't fit that well so getting them properly threaded is an issue. But even when you do, they either don't seal completely or they don't stay sealed. The result is that you CANNOT rely on airlock activity to tell you anything. Even when you do get enough of a seal to get the airlock to show activity, you'll look back in a few days and see neutral pressure. Nine times out of ten, it's just because the seal failed. This is a really frustrating issue with an otherwise great product. Get used to using visual checks and taking gravity readings to find out what your brew is doing. Because the airlock will tell you nothing but whether the seal has failed... again.
I recently bought 2 little big mouth bubblers. When they arrived, there was a seal and a stopper missing from the order. I sent an email a received a stopper and multiple seals.
Great customer service.
Love the wide mouth and the bung made to fit
I just ordered another one of these because they have become my favorite primary fermenter. When the new one came broken by UPS, I contacted Midwest and Thomas replied the next day and sent out a new unit. The new fermenter arrived well packed and intact. This was GREAT customer service!
These units are 1.25 gallons to the top of the straight side, 1.4 gallons and the base of the neck, and 1.5 gallons at the base of the threads. This makes them ideal for any one gallon batch size that includes lots of solids (and even those that don't). I really like being able to get my narrow mouth conditioning carboys filled up without any excessive headspace. Once you get used to the size of the LBMB, you almost always get a full gallon of mead (or wine / brew) at bottling time.
I also noticed when cleaning the new fermenter that there were TWO seals in the lid rather than one. This makes the seal much better and you don't have to tighten the lid so much to insure a tight seal. Just to be sure, I checked the lid of the broken unit and it had two seal s as well. This was a very nice surprise.
Don't buy one, BUY TWO! The best small batch fermenter I've ever used.
I ordered 4 Little Big Mouth Bubblers for brewing mead and they are working out perfectly. They feel well made and came with everything you'd need to get started right away.....container, lid, drilled stopper & airlock.
1 did get broken during shipping but Midwest was super fast in sending out a replacement. I would not hesitate to order more when needed.
