No but it looks awesome. More practical for space in my opinion than a dedicated fridge. I like that you could move it around depending on your needs.

I had considered the original Brewjacket earlier this year, but after looking into it more closely, it wasn't compatible with my fermenters, price was a bit steep, and there were restrictions on what sanitizer your could use (iodine based was recommended over an acid based sanitizer). For $75 I not have a fermentation chamber which will double as a second kegorator during the busy season.

Interesting idea but it doesn't look like you could put a blow-off tube on it to remove excess fermentation products during the primary fermentation stage which might make a real mess.
Currently on tap:
1) Festa Brown Ale
2) Festa Pale Ale
3) Best Case Northern Lights
4) Festa Continental Pilsner

In the bucket: Empty
In the carboy: Empty

I like the look of the new jacket they make for the fastferment, especially since the fastferment won't fit in the mini fridge I currently use as a ferm chamber.

In the details they state which fermenters ate compatible, basically most plastic ones are because you need to drill a hole to allow for an airlock. They even sell lids for buckets, the fast ferment, and the wide mouth carboys already modified to fit their product and an airlock
Kegged:
Bottled: Chocolate Orange Stout, Barkshack Sparkling Ginger Mead, Cherry Berliner
Fermenting: Fruit (havent decided yet) Lambic
Considering: Imperial Chocolate Raspberry Stout, Fir Tip Ale

$349 MRSP makes it pricey even if you aren't cheap, methinks. Something like this would be good for those who are very space limited, but you're def paying a premium for it!
