25L Stainless Steel Brew Bucket
KL16179
This top value fermenter is made from 304 grade stainless steel. The welding is smooth and the outer body is passivated to provide that matte stainless look. The exact same method how the KegLand 19L Brand New Stainless Steel kegs are produced.
The base inside this unit is a domed / cone shape so its really easy to clean while the rotating rack arm enables you to drain out every last drop.
This unit also includes a thermowell on the front. This unit comes with a digital thermometer (batteries not included) as shown in photos however the thermowell will also take various other thermometers such as the probe on our MKII temp controler box.
Dimensions:
560mm High without airlock (add approx.120mm for airlock)
360mm Wide
Straight out of the box instructions:
1. Assemble the Thermometer and Rotating Racking Arm to the Body of the Fermenter.
2. Fill up your BrewBucket with around 5 to 10L of hot to warm water.
3. Add a scoop of StellarClean and mix around with a spoon or with your hand wearing protective brew gloves. This will help remove any machining oil that is still on the surface of the fermenter. Open up the rotating racking arm to clean as well.
4. Tip out the StellarClean and Water mix, then fill with the same amount of water at the same temperature and wash out the remaining StellarClean.
5. Dry and store before use.
6. Before your first batch, use 1 to 2L of Water with 1.5mL to 3.0mL of StellarSan and swish that around to get it nice and foamy touching all the insides, the rotating racking arm, the top bung and airlock. It is now ready for its first ferment! It's good to use a little bit of sanitiser or ethyl kill sanitiser in your airlock incase the water goes stagnant and sucks back in infecting your brew.
TIP: It's always best to sanitise right before you use the vessel, sanitising then leaving it to store doesn't mean its sanitised in storage necessarily. Best to do it before you want to fill it.
Some minor manufacturing scratches may be present but will not affect performance whatsoever.

"This is a high-quality fermenter. I've done 3 or 4 brews in it now and I'd recommend it. It has quite a different feature set to the Fermzilla so make sure you weigh up all of your options before purchasing. But I have no regrets buying this. High-quality components, lid clips, handles, tap, thermowell."
"I normally use food safe plastic fermenters but have recently noticed that as I use them more and more they are getting harder to clean. Rather than buy new plastic fermenters and possibly wasting money, I decided to look into using stainless vessels and bought one of these to see what they are like. So far so good. Have brewed a single brew so far and it was very easy to access and clean thoroughly. With it being stainless, any reasonable quality cleaner whether it be a caustic or alkali type won't damage the vessel and I'll be putting about another 6 brews through it in the next 2 months or so and don't foresee any issues in this respect. Nice bit of kit and well made."
