  • 7.9 Gal/30L Wine Fermenter (Bucket Only) 7.9 Gal/30L Wine Fermenter (Bucket Only)

    7.9 Gallon Bucket | Food Grade Plastic Fermenter | Wine Kit Fermenter | Bucket Only

    14 reviews

    A 30L (7.9 gal) food-grade plastic bucket. Ideal for all fermentations, but especially ideal for wine kits, beers that tend to have a high krausen (Hefe) and any fermentation that is slightly too large for your 6-gallon pail. These buckets come molded with a threaded hole for a spigot to screw into. Our FE356 spigot threads in perfectly.  Why Polypropylene? These buckets are made from polypropylene as it is less porous and significantly smoother than other HDPE fermenters. HDPE is porous and can harbor microbial activity making it more difficult to clean and sanitize. Being less porous, polypropylene also does not absorb aroma like HDPE so there is less flavor carry over from batch to batch. Approximate Dimensions: 15.75" Wide x 16.25" Tall Click here for optional lid (FE357B) or full fermentation kit (FE357). Please note: the spigot hole comes pre-molded into the bucket and needs to be drilled out before installing the spigot. We recommend using a 5/8" drill bit and taking care not to strip the female threads that accept the spigot. The spigot includes a back nut that won't be needed—simply remove the back nut and thread in the spigot with the gasket in between the neck of the spigot and the bucket. The lid forms a very tight seal and requires a decent amount of downward force to lock in place. KegLand Part number: KL01588

  • FerMonster 6 Gallon Carboy FerMonster 6 Gallon Carboy

    FerMonster 6 Gallon Carboy

    3 reviews

    The Fermonster is a brand new fermenter designed specifically for fermentation. We gave product feedback for over 2 years of development and we think they nailed the design. The large lid allows for easy filling and makes hop or oak additions a breeze. The smooth sides are fantastic for sanitization - no ribs or texture to collect yeast or bacteria.  The 6 gallon size is great for most fermentations, and the larger 7 gallon is available for even bigger beers. The punted bottom allows sediment to collect to the sides so that you can siphon liquid from the center.  Because they are made from virgin PET plastic they nearly unbreakable and a lot safer than similar glass carboys. Also notice the conical top which reduces surface area if you plan to store beer or wine long term.   Made from heavy PET plastic, the same material used in 2 L soda bottles, which is nearly impermeable to oxygen penetration.  Due to the thicknes of the material and the overall geometry the Fermonster does not require ribs or dimples for stability.  That results in a super smooth interior surface that reduces yeast and sediment buildup making it the easiest to clean, most sanitary PET carboy on the market.  The huge 4" opening makes filling a breeze, and cleanup is as easy as wiping down the inside.  Fermonsters are easily moved by hand or consider using our Carboy Carrier for even greater ease of use. These fermentors are completely air-tight and the lids sealed tight with an O-Ring.  Additional O-Rings and Lids both with and without holes are available for purchase, see our You Might Also Need items below. Features: 4" wide mouth carboy - easy to clean! Food grade PET plastic construction is nearly impermeable to oxygen penetration No hard to clean dimples or ribs Volume Markers at 5 and 6 Gallons Punted bottom O-Ring and Lid with one hole is included (Fits #10 Stopper) Additional O-Rings and Lids available Weight: 1.5 lbs Temperature Limit: 140° F Height: 19.25 inches Diameter: 11.25 inches Completely taste and odor free Perfect for Beer, Wine, Cider, Mead, Kombucha or any other fermented beverage!

    Fermonster 1 Gallon Carboy

    9 reviews

    Carboys are great, but they have some issues: They require funnels to get liquid in, and cleaning brushes to clean up after.  They hold a decent volume, but all are a bit undersized for fermentation, and have no inherent measuring system.  Glass Carboys are breakable, while plastic carboys scratch with the first brush cleaning.  The Fermonster leaves all these problems behind! These Fermonster Plastic Carboy Fermenters are made from heavy PET plastic, the same used in 2 L soda bottles, which is nearly impermeable to oxygen penetration. The huge 4" opening makes filling a breeze, and cleanup is as easy as wiping down the inside. Glass carboys are fragile, and this is nothing like that.  The hefty plastic construction will hold up to brew day abuse.

  • Blichmann WineEasy Vacuum Press Kit (fits all WineEasy Fermentors)

    Blichmann WineEasy Vacuum Pump Press Kit

    This is the WineEasy Vacuum Press Kit which hooks up to your WineEasy Fermentor when ready to press. After draining some free-run, the pump is hooked up, creating a vacuum in an intermediate carboy, which will then start drawing wine from your Fermentor. This method of pressing is extremely gentle, and has no risk of over-extraction, as the maximum achievable pressure will be that of the atmosphere (~14 psi). The Vacuum Press Kit can be used with any size WineEasy. As such, you will only need one Vacuum Press Kit, regardless of size or quantity of WineEasy Fermentors you may own! On top of this product's use in pressing, the Vacuum Press Kit can also be used to degas wine!

    78 reviews

    Upgrade your home winery with an innovative, Stainless Steel, Brew Bucket™ Fermenter!  You will enjoy many of the benefits of a stainless conical fermenter but at a fraction of the cost and you are going to love how easy it is to use!  Made by Ss Brewing Technologies from polished 304 Stainless Steel, the Brew Bucket™ is not only functional it is downright beautiful. At MoreWine!  we know winemaking equipment and we truly believe this is a piece of equipment you are going to enjoy using every season. While originally designed for Home Beermaking, the Brew Bucket has proven itself as a great addition to the home winery.  Stainless Steel construction means easy cleaning and long lasting durability, while a tightly clamped gasketed lid means no oxygen permeation and premature spoilage of your wine.  This is a great unit for small fermentations, test batches, and kit wines.  The entire lid lifts off, making additions or stirring of must hassle-free.  Cleaning is equally easy, as the stainless steel construction will resist tartaric buildup, and the wide opening allows for scrubbing if necessary. We inspected and used the Brew Bucket™ and one of the most unique features that stood out is that the Brew Bucket can be stacked during fermentation, even with an airlock attached. We also like the conical bottom that allows trub to settle out in a concentrated space that minimizes the surface area of the trub that is in contact with your beer.  The included Patent Pending Rotating Racking Valve is also a brilliantly simple design allowing you to rotate the racking arm inside the Brew Bucket down during fermentation to minimize trub, and later up to get clear beer when racking!   Etched Volume Markers on the inside were super handy when filling. The build quality is really amazing for the price. Welds are clean. The lid is strong and the spring loaded lid hatches are solid.  The lid includes a removable, molded silicone gasket that ensures an airtight seal.  We love an airtight seal so that we can be sure to see the airlock working.  The welded on stainless handles make the BrewBucket super easy to move.  Overall: Very functional, easy-to-use, will last a lifetime, and looks amazing. Lets make some wine! Features: Certified Food Grade 304 Stainless Steel Construction Patent Pending Stainless Rotating Racking Valve 6.95 gal Max Capacity 40° Conical Bottom for Trub Trapping Nests for Storage, Stacks for Ferment! Molded Silicone Lid Gasket Spring Loaded Lid Clamps for Airtight Lid Seal Offset Airlock Hole includes Silicone Stopper Gallon Markers inside for visual volume assessment Stainless construction resists damage and is easy to clean 21” Height x 13” Width 10 lbs Note: 1/2" Silicone fits into the lid hole for use as a blowoff.  3/8" ID tubing is perfect for racking beer from the BrewBucket's valve.

For Red Wines:
Red wines are fermented using the entire grape, skins and all. When making red wines, two basic criteria need to be taken into account:

  1. During fermentation, yeast create alcohol and CO2 gas. As the CO2 bubbles up through the wine, a portion gets trapped in the skins and causes them to float on the surface of the wine in a mass called "the cap". The cap actually lifts itself above the surface of the liquid and this causes the volume of must to expand in the tank. So, when filling red wine fermenters, keep in mind you will not be able to fill it to the top with must, you will need to leave enough space for the cap to expand into. Therefore, if you want to be able to ferment a set volume of red wine, you will need to size the fermenter slightly larger than the desired finished volume of wine.
  2. The skins in the "cap" will need to be rinsed with the liquid wine several times a day during the fermentation. For large volumes this is done with a pump in a process called a "pump-over" (because you are pumping wine over the top of the cap). For smaller volumes (up to 300 gallons), this rinsing/wetting of the cap is usually done manually using a specialized "wine punch down tool" designed for the job. Using the tool, you simply break-up the cap and gently stir it back into the wine. This process is called "punching the cap". In order to use the punch down tool, however, you will need to have access to the surface of the wine. Therefore an open-top wine fermenter (not sealed) is the way to go for fermenting small red wine lots.

For White Wines (as well as Rose and Fruit Wines!):
White wines are made using just the juice from the grape. The crushing and separation of the juice from the solids happens before the fermentation begins. Since we have no solids present, there is no need to punch the cap. However, white wines are very sensitive to oxygen exposure and whatever we can do to limit this is a good thing. For this reason open-top fermenters are not recommended and sealed containers are the best choice for making white wines. If you are making small lots (1-6 gallons), then carboys are the ideal white wine fermentation vessel. However, for larger lots you will need to look at a Variable Volume or sealed tank.
