Little Demon Conical Fermenter

I have a couple of the brown 2 gallon fermenters and one of the clear ones, and decided to get one of the 1 gallon for experimental batches, as if I actually do those. I have brewed many, many gallons in my fermenters, I sometimes had two going at a time. I'm getting a little older now and don't drink as much beer as I did in my 30s, 40s and 50s. I started using this little one gallon more, as is, and love it. I still like coming up with my own recipes, but have used a few of the canned ones from BrewDemon, not a thing wrong with them. This is a great little piece of equipment, takes up very little room, super easy to clean and you can see what the beer is doing inside. I really like this thing.

I like the compact size and wide top that allows you to clean it between uses. And the conical bit that allows trub to collect at the bottom? Genius.

But I have two issues: 1) The lid appears to just sit on top. Something that latches or screws would make me a lot less nervous about contaminants. If you have a vigorous ferment, I could see this dislodging slightly. 2) That spigot can be kind of drippy, even though I've got it down pretty tight. Not sure how to fix that.

I'd also recommend some instructions about using the vent plug, or at least an explanation of how it works. I'm leaning toward using a blow-off tube for my next batch.

Are the legs of this fermenter hollow so I can get more distance between the bottom of the thing and the countertop?
