Whatever you do, don’t panic and buy a fridge!

The temperature in the UK is well below fermentation temperature for most of the year, so a FREE broken down fridge with a small 40w Tube Heater (with a thermostat) will suffice!

Remember the “KISS” principal in brewing and you wont go far wrong!

I have the slightly taller and wider model CUL55W20 and can just about fit in a standard 25litre plastic bucket fermenter. I have to use a blow off tube as the "s shaped" bubbler air lock will not fit it. Not sure what size the all rounder is though and if it can be tilted a bit in order to fit in ?

How wide is it?

I'm at work at the minute but will measure when I get home. What I can say is that I have a brewwbottle branded 25ltr fermenter that just fits in height wise sitting above the compressor. I can then just about squeeze a 1 litre plastic bottle beside it for the blow off container.
