Description
10 Gallon Primary Fermenter and Lid
This value-priced set is perfect for maceration. The lid is easily removed and the fruit cap can easily be pushed down. Made from food-grade plastic, it's the perfect size for making fruit wines and fresh grape wines that vigorously ferment. The bucket is 21" tall by 15.5" wide. The lid does not have an o-ring or a washer so the seal is not airtight and allows for aggressive fermentation without blowing your airlock off.
The actual volume is 12 gallons, but you will want at least 2 gallons of headspace.
