I'm seeing VEVOR everywhere. Who is the CEO?

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

[–] HeronHouseHamilton@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

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.

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.

I am pretty sure they’re a white label company.

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

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.
