SS Brewtech Brewmaster Bucket - Fridge Fitting.

[thescotsman]

Hi all

When I was researching I could not find decent images of the bucket in a UK fridge for sizing. Luckily it fits and I thought I'd jot down a few words and pictures which I thought you may find useful.

That bucket looks the biz! Does the lid give an air tight sealed? Except for the airlock obviously!

Cheers

Great!
How much did the bucket cost please?

Shiny! Shiny!

 

[Clint]

Hmm shiny indeed...a Sage fly rod moment, 3 x custom build carp rod moment, top end metal detector moment.....GOT TO HAVE IT...RESISTANCE IS FUTILE...
No point being the richest man in the cemetery. ...I think I could just about sneak one in under the radar...maybe if I get her another dog as a smoke screen? Such cunning!

Cheers

What are the internal measurements of your fridge please?

I have serious fermenter envy! It'd never fit in my fridge tho. :cry:

..and in case you want to spend a bit less on your shiny, the Bielmeier 30l tun fits inside a Beko tall fridge too. Since this was taken I built a supporting shelf, and it's happily fermenting away.

SHINY! SHINY! Do you have a link? Cant afford one (unless their the same prices as a plastic FV) but doesn't stop me drooling

Why not wrap your FV in tin foil and stand a long way back from it and pretend. :lol:

Hey Clint - Yes it is air tight. It has a significant silicone seal and clamps.

I bought here: https://www.brewuk.co.uk/equipment/fermenters-demi-john/ss-brewtech.html

There are not many UK suppliers and there are not many conicals at this small size.

Re seal...thanks! You can get these from the malt miller. .
I think I need one...

It probably would fit in your fridge if you can get a plastic fermenter in there, I have one and it looks smaller then a plastic fermentation bucket, it looked so much smaller the first thing I had to do when it arrived was check that it held 5 gallons!

Really like the look of these. How would you go about temp control without a fridge? Shame there is no thermometer on it but they do look awesome. Ive got 5 buckets on the go now though so gonna be very expensive if i ditch all the plastic.

For £20 more the brewmaster version has a thermowell so you can tell exactly what the temp in the middle of the wort.

To regualte the temp they's fit very nicely in a coolbrewing brew bag, but that's another £50
