Fermentation Bucket with Lid, Grommet and Airlock
A simple fermentation kit for home brewing: a lidded plastic bucket, a grommet that seats the airlock in the lid, and a clear twin-bubble airlock that lets fermentation gas out while keeping outside air away from your wine, beer or cider. Available in 5 or 10 litres, in black or white.
Product Details
This kit turns a plain lidded bucket into a working fermenter for small home batches of wine, beer, cider, mead or fruit liqueur. Each kit is one bucket with its snap-on lid, a grommet that fits into the lid, and a clear plastic twin-bubble airlock that pushes into the grommet. With the lid closed and the airlock part-filled with water, the gas produced during fermentation bubbles out through the water, while the water itself stops outside air from getting back to the brew.
The bucket is made of durable plastic, light to handle and easy to wipe clean, and the lid snaps on with a dependable, spill-resistant seal. The 5 litre bucket has a plastic carry handle and the 10 litre a metal one, which makes it easier to move a full batch to wherever it will stand while it works. The grommet has its stopper attached, so the hole in the lid can be closed whenever the airlock is out, and the clear airlock lets you watch the water move in its two bubbles and hear the yeast at work.
The 5 litre size suits a first attempt or a trial run of a new recipe, and the 10 litre gives room for a bigger batch from a crop of apples, grapes or soft fruit. The airlock also fits the hole in a rubber demijohn bung, so it can move on with the brew when it is transferred to a demijohn for the next stage. In the kitchen, the cellar or the pantry, the kit is simple to set up and simple to use.
Every size and colour is a complete kit of its own, in black or in white, so you can pick the capacity that matches your batch and the colour that matches the rest of your equipment.
