I make mostly red kit wines with skins. I often will ferment to dry in my bucket, keeping the lid loose until the SG gets to around 1.010, then snapping it down under air lock to let fermentation finish.
The only slight drawback for me is that I can't see the bottom of the bucket well when I rack out. Is that enough a reason to consider getting a Fermonster (with a recently received gift certificate to an LHBS that I don't frequent out of loyalty and complete satisfaction with my "go to" LHBS)? I'm looking to get something I probably would not otherwise buy from my preferred local supplier.
For those with experience with one, are there other benefits or drawbacks? Other suggestions? Thanks.
