The drilled lid is grommeted and accepts a fermentation lock. 12" Diameter, 17.5" Height
Grommet for Lid. This grommet will fit a standard bucket lid. Fits lids that are approximately 3/16" thick, and requires a 3/8" hole to install.

The V-Vessel System was originally designed to save time, space, and money for the Canadian wine-on-premise industry. Now you can take advantage of all the benefits the V-Vessel brings to making wine and beer in your own home.
The V-Vessel is the only conical fermenter with a collection capsule at the base. With the collection capsule, you will be able to take sediment or trub from the bottom -- no more racking! It reduces the liquid-to-sediment contact area by 99.6% compared to using a pail, and you can remove the collection capsules on 13 units in the same time it would take you to siphon one batch from a pail to a carboy.
If you're making wine, you can either bottle or filter directly from the unit. If you're making beer, you can prime the beer through the opening on the top, open the valve and bottle. Or just open the valve and run the line into your keg. The V-Vessel comes complete with the V-Vessel unit, a collection capsule, wall bracket and mounting assembly, rubber bung & airlock, hose adapter, 6 feet of tubing with a hose clamp, and a large funnel. Capacity is 23 liters, or just over 6 US gallons. Please note that the V-Vessel is a wall-mounted unit and needs to be installed on a concrete wall or anchored into wooden (not metal) studs.
Clips to rim of bucket while holding a racking cane.
These spigots require a one-inch diameter hole for installation. The rubber gaskets go on the outside of the bucket, and provide a positive seal. Bottling spigot requires 3/8" I.D. tubing. Drum tap requires 5/8" I.D. tubing. Replacement gaskets fit either spigot.
The "Bubbler" style airlock is the preferred lock for secondary fermenters, as it is possible to monitor the pressure in the fermenter. The Three Piece airlock is easy to disassemble and clean out in the event of a blow-off, and is preferred for primary fermentation.
Glass carboys are airtight, easily sanitized and do not hold an odor. Our 3, 5 and 6 gallon carboys are standard and use a No. 6 1/2 stopper. The 6 1/2 gallon carboy is a new, unused acid carboy with a threaded top.
These jugs are perfect for small-batches, or for containing the surplus from a larger batch of wine. Both jugs take a No. 6 stopper or a 38mm screw cap (#7822).
Better Bottles look like regular glass carboys, but they're made from a special PET plastic. Unlike cheap plastic fermenters, Better Bottles are taste- and odor-free, stain-resistant, non-absorbing and non-porous, impermeable to oxygen, and clear (so you can monitor fermentation visually). And, unlike glass carboys, they're light and easy to lift and store, and are virtually unbreakable. Each size is available plain or ported—the plain models are basically just like a carboy—beer or wine goes in through the neck and must be siphoned out the same way. The ported models have a hole near the bottom that accept a racking outlet (sold separately), which allows you to transfer beer or wine by draining from a spigot instead of siphoning. Use a ported closure (#7885) or a #10 rubber stopper to seal Better Bottles.
Racking Outlet. The racking outlet for ported Better Bottles is made of two parts — the SimpleFlo Valve (#7898) and the racking adapter (#7899). These two parts allow you to transfer beer or wine by draining from a spigot instead of siphoning. The racking outlet parts are made of the same PET plastic as the Better Bottles. The internal racking arm can be rotated on its Teflon-encapsulated o-rings and washers inside the Better Bottle to minimize the transfer of yeast and sediment. The SimpleFlo Valve works best with 1/2" ID tubing. Requires installation rod (#7897) to install.
Reusable Ported Closures. These are made of the same PET plastic and fit into the neck of Better Bottles. They have a 1/2" port to accommodate a DryTrap fermentation lock (#7894), blowoff hose, or a solid plug (included). Compatible with all Better Bottle models.
DryTrap Fermentation Lock. The reusable DryTrap Fermentation Lock can be inserted into a reusable ported closure for sealing a Better Bottle during fermentation. A self-sealing ball-valve vents fermentation gasses without letting air back in, eliminating the need for a water-filled airlock. DryTraps are not recommended for extremely vigorous fermentations or blowoff.
Better Bottle Handle. Snaps onto the lip of a Better Bottle for lifting and moving. Compatible with all Better Bottle models.
Other Better Bottle Fittings. Less common Better Bottle fittings.
Sturdy, vented plastic stand holds an inverted carboy steady to let it drip dry, inside and out. Stackable.
This carboy dryer works even if you have a handle attached to your carboy. Accomodates 3, 5, 6, and 6.5 gallon carboys.
Regular handle compatible with standard 3, 5, or 6 gallon carboys; 6.5 gallon handle for use on acid carboys. Fits beneath lip of a glass carboy. Reduces the danger of dropping a full or wet carboy. This is not designed for supporting the weight of a full carboy; always support full carboys from the bottom!
Perhaps the best carboy carrier yet. The Brew Hauler is made of heavy-duty polypropylene straps that cradle a carboy and provide two carrying handles. The straps adjust to fit carboys from 5 to 7 gallons in size. They are rated to lift 100 lbs.
Insulate your beer with these fitted 6.5 mm neoprene parkas. Include carrying straps.
Universal fits standard 3, 5, or 6 gallon carboys; 6.5 gallon style fits acid carboys. Put a racking cane through the center tube, fit the cap over the mouth of the carboy, then blow hard into the second hole to prime a siphon.
All of our food-grade plastic funnels are vented to prevent splashing. The small funnel has a top diameter of 4 3/4 inches and fits beer bottles or flasks. The 8 1/2 inch funnel is the largest size that fits completely and securely into a carboy neck. The 10-inch funnel is large enough to fit a colander or large strainer, which makes it an effective tool for removing whole hops from a boil. The Anti-Splash funnel is designed with a shape that helps prevent splashing. We also stock strainers that fit the 8", 10" or Anti-Splash funnel, but we do not recommend these for brewing as they do not tolerate heat and will easily clog.
Solid gum rubber stoppers provide a positive seal on carboys, etc.
Universal carboy bungs have a generous taper, so they fit standard 3, 5, 6 and 6.5 gallon carboys. It is impossible to push carboy bungs into a carboy. Unlike stoppers, carboy bungs will seal a carboy when they are still wet.
Note: Does not fit Better Bottles.
Vented - Fits 3, 5, 6, and 6.5 gallon carboys and acts as both a stopper and an airlock. Its four vents and pliable seal allow CO2 to escape but prevents entry of oxygen and airborne contaiminants. No more suckback of liquid from the airlock as wort cools; great for extended fermentations where CO2 production is slight. Diameter is 1 1/2" at the top, 1 1/16" at the bottom. Solid - Same dimensions as the vented silicone stopper, but solid.
Use two of these carboy wedges to securely elevate one side of a carboy. This allows you to maximize the volume of beer or wine you are able to siphon out of a carboy.
