Product details

Monitor fermentation without touching a thing.

Safe brewing made easy! Our new fermenting buckets are completely translucent, letting you keep an eye on your fermentation without ever opening the lid or exposing the brew to oxygen, wild yeast, bacteria, or mold.

Holds up to 6.5-gallons. Made from food-grade plastic and includes volume graduations. 12" diameter, 17.5" tall.

Keep a few extra buckets around to store cleaning and sanitizing solution between brew sessions.

The Northern Brewer Fermentation Bucket does not include a bucket lid. Add a Drilled Lid or an Undrilled Lid to complete your set up. And don't forget an Airlock!

Optimal Size and Shape for Initial Cider Fermentation

The tall form 6.5 gallon is my go-to for most early stages of cidermaking including a collection bucket for ground apples and then raw juice, and particularly for the first few weeks of fermentation. The tall form allows the sediment and dead yeast to form a thick layer at the bottom with a deeper pool of somewhat clearer juice / cider above, which means that racking disturbs less of the lees. The big issue with these buckets is that the lid is very difficult to remove so the settled lees tend to get stirred up. Also, the use of an O-ring in the lid is problematic since it's not easily removed for cleaning and sanitizing. Rather, I use cling-wrap (Glad wrap, Handi-wrap etc.) to keep the dust and bugs out and generally retain a CO2 blanket during turbulent fermentation phase.

6.5 gallon fermenting bucket

The bucket is exactly as shown on website. I haven't used it as yet but I'm excited to do so soon. I will definitely order again from this company

Great little buckets

These have been great. Very simple to use and clean vs other ones. When I ramp up to more I’m sure I’ll need bigger but right now this is perfect for me.
