In addition, the fermentor support legs remain permanently affixed to the tank without introducing any welding flaws on the inside of the tank.

Lastly, a removable lid design utilizing a band clam that eliminates the need to weld the lid to the tank and allows for easy access to the interior of the fermentor for cleaning and sanitation.
