Description
8.5 Gallon ( 32 Quart ) Fermentation Bucket with Lid and Air Lock
A complete fermentation bucket kit with 32-qt (8.5 gallons) bucket, lid, 3-piece airlock, Lid comes with grommet hole for air lock. Spigot is not included and Spigot hole is not drilled, as this can sometimes lead to yeast sediment draining through, which can create off flavors. It is best to siphon off the top of the wash. The bucket features measurement in LITERS , a translucent body construction, molded-in handles, and it is made of alcohol-tolerant food grade PP plastic. If you ever used an opaque fermentation system before, you know how frustrating it can be to figure out how much liquid you have in your container. This translucent bucket is sure to make your fermentation preparation go a lot easier.

I rated this bucket kit fermenter at 4 stars because the description does not mention that the spout port needs to be drilled out. I do like that the spout attaches with an already threaded housing and we shall see how long this lasts without leakage. Otherwise a great value for the the dollar

Ordered buckets from 3 different companies. Mile High product is by far the best. Handles are thicker and I’m glad the hole wasn’t drilled out in case I wanted to use it just as a bucket. Should include the stick on temp. gauage

This is a very good product at a really fair price. And shipping was alot faster than I expected. Now I just have to save up for a new 8 gallon still! Milehigh will be getting more of my buisness in the future.

This kit has everything you need to get started, The bucket is heavier than others I have seen and has litres as well as temp gauge which all helps when you need to be a little more accurate, great product

Perfect for small batch fermenting and someone starting out.

perfect for a 5 gal mash, plenty of extra room to mix, and the check valve on top is ingenious!

The fermentation kit work great for me with my 8gal boiler!

My fermentation bucket is perfect for 6 gallon batches with adequate airspace which keeps the foam from getting into the airlock. Has a nice airtight lid which is easy to remove. It also has nice sized handles making it easy to transport.

MHD is a first class operation!!!
I returned one item expecting a restocking fee
for the return however they did not charge me for
the return and gave me a full in store credit, the only thing I would like to request is more complete answers for specific question asked.

I have purchased 2 of these from Mile High. I like them because I can see my level. Good seal on lid. Mile High has the best price, other places charge as much as 10-12.00 more for the same pail.

Other than having to drill the hole for the valve; this big semi-clear bucket is perfect for making a nice big batch for distilling. Couple this with the Brewbelt to keep the solution warm enough for the yeast to do its job and you will produce a good product every time.I would suggest drilling the hole as high as possible to prevent sediment from getting in your still. I use the table top still sold here.

These buckets work great, needs a window to view settlement. Everything I’ve bought from Mile-High has been top notch, keep up the good work.

These are my favorite fermentation buckets I have bought. They are 8.5 gal instead of the 6 or 7 like others so it leaves plenty of room for a head. and they are semi clear so you can see if the was has settled at the bottom.
Kim –
We have bought 3 of these fermenting buckets, they are the best we have found! easy to use and a snap to clean.

These buckets are perfect for the job. Add a temperature strip to the side is all you need.

Tryed this full bucket kit works great it’s so handy. I liked it so much I bought another great product.

Very sturdy 8 gallon bucket with strong molded in handles, tight fitting lid and grommeted hole for the included airlock. I already had one and decided I could use another. The translucent plastic lets you see through it enough to see when your yeast has settled well to the bottom before you siphon. Or if you prefer the spigot outlet hole can be drilled high enough on the bottom the contents could be drained while not disturbing the settled yeast. The spigot is included as well.

One is never enough so I bought another. The lid is easy to get off and on.
