6.5 Gallon Siphonless Fermenting Bucket with Pre-Drilled Hole

The 6.5 Gallon Siphonless Fermenting Bucket with Pre-Drilled Hole is a versatile, food-grade fermentation vessel designed to simplify homebrewing and bottling. With a pre-drilled 1-inch (26 mm) hole for a spigot, this bucket eliminates the need for messy siphons and makes transferring or bottling your beer, wine, mead, or cider faster, cleaner, and more efficient. Simply attach a plastic spigot to the pre-drilled opening for smooth siphonless transfers into a secondary fermenter, bottling bucket, or keg.

Built from durable, lightweight plastic, this 6.5-gallon fermenting bucket is made to last through repeated brewing sessions. The food-safe construction resists staining, odors, and cracking, ensuring your fermentations stay clean and uncontaminated. Its sturdy handle and stackable design make it practical for both small-batch and large-scale homebrewers.

The side of the bucket features clearly printed volume markers from 1 to 5 gallons, including half-gallon increments, to make measuring your brew simple and accurate. While ideal for brewing 5-gallon batches, the total capacity reaches nearly 7 gallons, giving you extra headspace to prevent spills during active fermentation.

This fermenting bucket is perfect for beginners and experienced brewers alike who want a simple, reliable vessel that supports both fermentation and bottling. Its siphonless design reduces oxidation risks and exposure to airborne contaminants, while the pre-drilled spigot port ensures smooth, hands-free transfers.
