Vintage Bottle Fermenter (11.4 Litre)

The Vintage Bottle Fermenter is a plastic fermentation vessel with an 11.4 litre capacity (about 2.5 gallons), sealed with a rubber bung and airlock. It suits small batches of beer, wine or cider that are bigger than a single 1 gallon demijohn.

Key features

• 11.4 litre capacity - roughly two and a half times a standard 1 gallon demijohn
• Plastic body, lighter than glass
• Takes a bored rubber bung and standard airlock to let CO2 out and keep air out
• A spare rubber bung is available if yours is lost or worn

Specs

• Capacity: 11.4 litres
• Material: plastic
• Supplier code: YH-4165

How to use

Clean the fermenter, then sanitise it, the bung and the airlock with ChemSan. Fill with your wort or must, leaving some headspace for foam, fit the bung and airlock and leave it somewhere with a steady temperature.

Who it's for

Home brewers who want a mid-size vessel for test batches, small fruit wines or split batches, and anyone who prefers plastic to glass.
