25L Wide Neck Fermenter with Tap

Handcraft Supplies 25L Wide Neck Fermenter with Tap provides the ideal fermentation environment for your wine, beer or cider. The large capacity allows for brews up to 23L with graduation marks up the side. A tap is included for easy transferring, and there are handles built into the mould for easy transportation. The 4 inch opening protects the fermentation whilst allowing easy cleaning. The screw lid includes a hole for an airlock and bung (sold separately), and an O-ring for a tight seal.

How much does it hold?

The fermenter is graduated up to 22.5 litres (5 gallons). However, there is sufficient space above this mark for any fermentation foam or head to be easily held in the space. If you are making a 23 litre wine, beer or cider, this is the perfect fermenter.

How do you ensure a good seal?

The threaded cap hold a silicone washer. This presses down on the fermenter to form an air tight seal. To ensure a really good seal, smear a lubricating jelly like Vaseline or Petroleum Jelly around the thread of the cap before tightening down. This also makes it easier to remove the cap when emptying the fermenter.

What can you ferment?

The fermenter can be used to ferment beer, wine, cider or even a spirit wash.

What is the smallest volume I can ferment?

Due to the headspace, we would not recommend any volume below 4 gallons in the fermenter. For smaller quantities, we would advise using demijohns to ferment in.
