Where you in the 5 minute buying frenzy?

Just notified my bucket was shipped.
Good to hear the "5 minute" buyers are seeing some shipment notifications. I was in that group, but haven't heard anything just yet.
I expected an email directly from Ss Brewing Technologies but later noticed an email from Fedex that turned out to be the shipment notification for the Brewbucket.

Finally got my bucket in today.. can't wait to put it to use this weekend. I'll be installing a thermowell around the 3 gallon mark.
Those look VERY nice, just out of curiosity would any of you think its worthit shelling out the extra $100 for the full conical?

No offense, but a good cleaning inside and out is kind of a given. I would never use anything I've purchased like this without doing that .

And for those wondering, the tube on top is my thermowell that will be installed in the lid.
Edited to add:How do you plan on installing your thermowell? I've got one and I'm trying to figure out how I'll do it.
I see 2 options -- expand the existing hole and install a thermowell+stopper combo, or drill a new hole that's dedicated to the thermowell.

I'm going to drill a new hole in the lid just smaller than the tube. I have a socket that is just the right size that has a shoulder on it so I can create a dimpled hole for the tube. Essentially it will look similar to how people silver solder couplers in their kettles. Make the hole slightly smaller then the dimpling tool and then pull dimpler through until it makes a snug fit for the thermowell, and then silver solder.
Has anyone used these in a mini-fridge? If so, what brand/model?
I think I kinda lost you there on what you're trying to do. I think I'm going to drill a new hole the size of a smaller stopper (using a standard bit for a pilot hole, then my carbide step-bit), and then drill a hole in the stopper, and mount the thermowell through. That way I can easily remove the thermowell.
This hole would be separate from the existing hole.
How are people controlling the temp with this thing? Seems pretty huge for a freezer

Okay, let me re-phrase this. Has anyone used these in a mini-fridge that is currently available in a retail store?
I'd be willing to bet money one could walk into a home depot, Sears, Lowe's, Wal-Mart, best buy.... basically any place that sells mini fridges and buy one that will work. This bucket is not much bigger then a better bottle and I can fit a better bottle in my Danby mini fridge no problem. I guess I don't understand what the big deal is ...
I'm sorry that asking the members of this forum for their experiences got your panties in a wad.
