A good body guy could bump that out.

Well I heard back from Adam last night.  He's offered me either a partial refund or a full refund.  I'm going to try and knock this thing out... if successful I'm taking the partial refund... if not... full refund...

It seems to me a block of wood and my mallet should be good enough to get this done...

Can you hook up CO2 to it and use pressure to pop it out?

That is worth a try, if Dan can apply pressure through the out port. I wouldn't apply much though.

Edit - no out port on Dan's.

hmm it's possible... but I would have to wonder how much pressure would need to be applied... I mean it seals up tight with only a small hole in the lid... in theory it should be able to get a decent amount of pressure in there if I can keep the co2 hose from leaking around that input too much...

[hopfenundmalz]

Don't blow the lid off. That would be bad.

The lid clamps are pretty hardcore... Though I'm thinking hammer is what will be used

Those lid clamps are very serious. Took a closer(?) look inside mine and everything looks good inside. The questionable weld looks like it's just where the base is welded to the unit

Well....  Mallet was a no go... I ended up sticking a car jack in there and it mostly did the trick.

Couldn't you just send it back and get it replaced?

[dkfick]

Sadly no.  Because only a specific amount were manufactured my options were send it back for a refund or  keep it and get a partial refund.  I actually don't mind this because while this may not be perfect looking it's still functional and now half price

Yeah, that sounds like a good deal as long as you don't think the irregular surface will be hard to clean.

You need one of these.

I have not received my fermentation vessel, but you guys are not making me feel warm and fuzzy about my decision to participate in the buy.  I was ready to write this buy off as a loss given how long it took to fulfill.

I am going to reserve judgement until I put this baby to work. It's my first non bucket or carboy fermenter, so it's all a little strange to me. They were supposed to be leak tested by manufacturer, in China, so we shall see
