I was disappointed learning this because i had a use for a larger size and wasted a few more dollars to purchase this one.Was this review helpful?

A shopper on Aug 31, 2017 BEST ANSWER: This is for primary fermentation. For wine it is designed to hold 6 gallons of juice plus skins and allow for a very active fermentation without bubbling over. After fermenting on the skins the wine can be racked off to a secondary fermentor. Glass carboys are the preferred choice for secondary fermentation.

Reply Inaccurate Thomas S. on Aug 31, 2017 Purchased on Sep 3, 2016 0 I use it as a large graduated bucket for measuring water amounts during the brewing process(mash, sparge and final boil volumes). With a lid and a hole for a vapor lock you could use it for either primary or secondary fermentation. Reply Inaccurate Lyman S on Aug 31, 2017 Purchased on Jan 28, 2017 0 I currently have 6 of these buckets. I drill a 1" hole for a spigot, and I use the buckets for primary and secondary fermentation, and for bottling. The lids seal very well because they have a thick rubber gasket. Reply Inaccurate Phil W on Aug 31, 2017 Purchased on Dec 11, 2016 0 It's a primary. Once fermentation slows, you'd want to move to another vessel. Preferably a carboy without a lot of headspace for air. Reply Inaccurate Richard P on Aug 31, 2017 Purchased on Sep 14, 2016 0 Primary. You will want a 6 gal carboy for secondary. Reply Inaccurate Michael H. on Aug 31, 2017 Purchased on Mar 28, 2017 0 Primary, I racked to a carbon thereafter.

And have had great success brewing beer and wine in the past. Despite some that believe that they leak oxygen into the wort this is not the case. The buckets seal airtight and leave enough head space for kerazan to rise. They are quite easy to clean. The only down side I would comment on, is that any damage or scratches inside the bucket will require a little extra attention when cleaning and sanitizing to prevent bacterial introduction.

Reply Inaccurate Todd T. on Jul 4, 2016 0 Sure, these are also great for beer fermentations! They have a larger space up top for a really big fermentation, and they have a lid with a gasket that seals up very well. These would be perfectly fine to use for wine or beer fermenting. -Mike W, Northern Brewer Reply Inaccurate Customer Service on Jul 5, 2016 Vote for the best answer above!
