Description

Why do home winemakers love using a bucket to ferment and bottle from? EASE! 
 
Going from spigot to bottle will reduce the time your wine is exposed to oxygen. It’s easier to control filling bottles than with a siphon. It’s easy to clean, easy to carry, and easy to transfer. You will love our six gallon, food grade bucket with hole for spigot and external volume markings up to five gallons.
 
To use as a fermenter you will need to pick up the optional spigot, lid, a stopper, and an airlock.
 
If you use the bucket for fermentation be sure to use care when cleaning. Do not use any abrasive pads that could scratch the interior surface. Once you get a scratch in a plastic bucket it is very hard to sanitize. This is also why we don't recommend storing equipment in a bucket between uses as a fermenter. A hot PBW soak is usually all you need to clean a bucket after fermentation. 
 
Please note:
  • Buckets are translucent and do not come with lids.
  • Buckets are not designed to hold pressure.
  • Lids are not gasketed and so do not always form a perfect, airtight seal. Not intended for long-term storage.
  • Food-Grade to 180° F

I had a different use. I need to calibrate a fuel capacity gauge. The measurement lines in .5gal capacity makes it easy. Combined with the sediment block spigot.

Opaque but can still see liquid through it for measurement marks. Like the .5 gallon marks.

Works well
Decent price, and the measurement markings are really helpful. I bought a 1/2" nozzle spigot to attach to it, instead of the 3/8 (5/16?) one that comes with it.

Solid bucket.
I use this bucket for bottling. I wish the hole were a little lower; I have to tilt to bucket to get the last half gallon. Or I wish there were a spigot dip tube to solve this issue.
