Read carefully! Not a brewing bucket this is a bottling bucket. Bought this to replace my worn-out brew buckets with spigots. This is not that. This is a bottling bucket that only assists in bottling. It does not hold pressure so is not shipped with a lid. I've been brewing for over 10 years and haven't run into this before. Get yourself a brew bucket for secondary fermentation that can handle both the fermentation and bottling tasks.

The fermentation bucket and spigot are excellent. Keep note about how the spigot goes in. It has a lip system for the inside so you can drag way less turb so just mount it and screw it down. I like the inlet toward the top to drag the least less.

Get what you pay for. It’s plenty fine quality but the spigot connection was a little weak and leaked a touch. I worry about contamination at that junction.

Spigot handle broke off. Kinda sux less than a year

Very pleased with my bucket. Price was right. Quality was excellent. No issues at all.

Works very well. Easy to clean and the handle make for easy moving of the filled fermentor.

It's nice and I love the spigot with the debris block and how it can rotate. the bucket is a bit on the thin/flimsy side. good thing it will only be used for bottling.

Bucket itself is good I like the way you can see through the bucket and tell exactly how much is in it. The thin handle was all bent up during shipping and I don't trust that it will continue to hold 5 gals of beer while I'm moving it around. Needs a more sturdy handle.

Perfect for bottling home brew. Volume markers on the side are most helpful.

This bucket has made my bottling SO much easier. What a blessing!

The gasket that came with the spigot was broken. I didn't notice it until the liquid started to seep out of the hole. It didn't leak much and dried up enough to seal it. I would like a new unbroken gasket.

It was missing the white screw on piece to keep the spigot in. Will have to order a new one. Other wise it seems well made.

Does the job it was intended to do. I have re-ordered as I needed a couple more buckets.

Works for what I need I also called and they were very accommodating to replace the broken oart

Handy and convenient buy sometimes hard to get the lid to seal.

Great quality arrived fast & in good condition. Bucket exactly as described. I plan on using it in the next few weeks when Roma tomatoes ripen. I’m making tomato sauce from a recipe I found on YouTube that used a fermentation bucket with a spigot to fill canning jars.

Its an amazing bucket! I will be buying more!

These are great buckets for my wine making I didn’t notice they don’t come with lids but I found them for acouple dollars each at Lowe’s or would be 5 stars.

I already have 2 of these buckets and I find them to be great for collecting my fresh cider to be bottled off or transferred for pasteurization. The spigot rotation feature is very handy for transporting the full buckets.

I've been using two of these buckets for a couple of years. No leached flavors cracks or discoloring so far. Wonderful for the utility and price.

Bought the lid linked in description and have done 3 brews so far. Each one does not have airlock activity d/t poor seal with the lid. Otherwise it works well spigot is nice as it has a have moon shape that allows for better control when avoiding the yeast/trub

It does great job works good

Spigot doesn't leak neither does bucket. So it seems good. Lid is gravity only no sealing airtight. But you need a bottling bucket and it's cheap.

Very well built. Can't wait to brew my first bath in the bucket.

No complaints here. Works as it should and is currently fermenting my pinot noir.

Love this bucket for primary and bottles . Easy to use and it doesn’t leak

Nothing fancy. I use it for measuring boil water cleaning and for bottling. The faucet could be lower so I don't have to tip the bucket during bottling.

We only use for bottling; sometimes for sanitizing other brew day tools. They've been great have even loaned them to friends who don't have bottling buckets and they've stood the test of time

I was suspicious of the plastic spigot until I used it. It has a solid open and close no leaks or spills. I'd note as well that I've never had any difficulty with off tastes from any of these plastic buckets.

I love that the bucket comes with the spigot and it is all ready to go for you the moment you get it. I docked one star due to the fact the lid is a little shotty compared to some of the other bucket and lids on the market

I use for initial ferment before transferring into a secondary fermentor. Easy to clean and take apart.
