Recomendtion on a 10l fermenter

[dreaddan]

I've lost confidence in my current fermenter so want to get a new one.
Can someone recommend a plastic 10l fermenter please?


Thanks

Or a stainless stock pot. Then fit a stainless ball valve.

10 litre plastic bucket cost about £10.

I'm doing 10l batches, currently don't feel it's worth doing bigger ones as I'm still 'green' in my brews..

I use one that is around 14 L, something like this Fermentation Bucket 15 L with a lid and a tap

This gives a bit of flexibility if you decide to brew a few lites more.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I’ve got one too it’s 14 litres £16.97 on eBay. Says it’s 15 litres but really 14 litres. This one has a lid, airlock and tap.

That may be the slippery slope into kegging

Actually a full size 19l keg is perfect for 10l batches. I would highly recommend it. The only issue is when bottling you need to use carb drops or manually measure sugar.

But yes it's a lot more expensive overall.

The Spiedels are very nice but a tad too small. 15l would be good.

Deleted for trying to tell a forum sponsor what they should do.

Not looking for an argument and they can defend themselves, but they're a member and a sponsor so are as free to post as anyone else.

Your latest couple of posts suggest you've a gripe with them, if so maybe take it up with them directly?

Deleted as he was trying to tell a sponsor what to do.

The OP didn't ask for advise, they asked for recommendations. You may find it hard to believe, but not every single brewer wants to buy the cheapest bit of equipment they can, every time. Sometimes other factors come into play such as functionality, appearance, feel, accessories........
I gave just two of a load of different options, one mid priced and one budget with a load of functionality, I am not going to apologise for that.

I'm using the 10L Fermenter Genius and been mostly happy with it except the lid gasket is difficult to fit and needs to be dipped in boiling water to be made more malleable. It needs to be fitted perfectly in the lid recess otherwise not air tight. Also the stock airlock is too small so I replaced it with a bigger one. I got mine from maltmiller who no longer have it but I noticed geterbrewed has it.

In the photo below the top line on the outside is 9.3L so this batch is a little more than that but I did get krausen overflow that needed some clean up and airlock refill.

Maltmiller said it can do closed transfers but I haven't tried that yet.

Fermenter King junior. 10litre capacity and you can get into Pressure fermentation when you feel like it.

Wow that looks full!
I think I need to measure what mine is now, as a good number of brews tye krausen fills the head room..

These do look tempting. And may be a 'easy' keg for later

I have some Speidel 12 litre fermenters. Good quality plastic but not designed for fermentation under pressure.
