6.5 Gallon Solid Fermenting Bucket

A food-grade 6.5 gallon plastic bucket (with no pre-drilled holes) perfect for all kinds of home beer or winemaking activities. Plastic buckets are often used as a fermenter, bottling bucket, or even sanitizer bucket. If you will be using it as a fermenter you will also need to pick up the optional grommeted lid and an airlock.

If you use this plastic bucket for fermentation be sure to use care when cleaning. Do not use any abrasive pads that would scratch. Once you get a scratch in a plastic bucket it is very hard to sanitize.  This is also why we don’t recommend storing equipment in a bucket between uses as a fermenter. A hot PBW soak is often a perfect way to clean a bucket, followed by a Star San soak for killing bacteria.

Bucket has external volume markings up to 5 gallons. 17.5″ H x 12″ Diameter
