The 2 Gal White Barrel with Vent Cap is a compact home brew barrel for small batches - ideal for a 2-gallon (about 9 litre) brew, or for splitting a larger batch into two for side-by-side comparisons. Fill it with your finished beer or cider and serve it on draught instead of bottling.

Key features

  • Capacity: 2 gallons (about 9 litres)
  • White food-grade plastic
  • Supplied with a vent cap, which lets excess pressure escape while the beer conditions and is served
  • Compact enough to fit in a fridge for chilled serving

How to use it

Clean and sanitise the barrel, then rack your fermented beer or cider into it, leaving the sediment behind. Add a little priming sugar for condition (our Priming Sugar Calculator helps you work out how much), fit the vent cap and leave it somewhere warm to condition before moving it somewhere cool to clear.

Who it's for

Small-batch brewers, anyone trying recipes in smaller volumes, and brewers who want to split a batch.
