Product Details

The Master Vintner 7.9 Gallon Fermenting Bucket is the perfect primary fermentor for making wine, mead or cider. The additional head space you get from this fermentor makes for healthier yeast, a stronger fermentation, and ultimately a better beverage.

NOTE: This fermenter is particularly important if you're making a Master Vintner wine recipe kit with skins due to the additional space the skins take up.

Pick up an extra fermenter and efficiently make two or more batches at once. This heavy-duty plastic fermenter is ideal for making wine, mead, or cider.
  • 7.9 Gallon Capacity Master Vintner Fermentor
  • Food Grade Plastic
  • Pre-drilled gasketed lid included
  • Rubber grommet installed for easy airlock insertion

*Bucket may vary in appearance from displayed picture*

Pretty good bucket

After reading all the reviews I was extra careful removing lids. Use both hands and slowly work your way around - I still tore about 2cm of the lid’s sidewall. The rest are good, but only a couple batches in.

Also the red stopper I think isn’t the best design: you have to press it down snug. Use a sanitized flat surfaces tool for this, as the stopper likes to come out when the airlock is removed. The black stoppers that have an edge on the top and bottom securing itself to the drilled hole are much more secure I think. Personal preference I guess.

Maybe too persnickety: the underside of the lid has so many rectangular notches. I wish it was a flat and easier to clean, but just clean it right away and there’s less concern.

The bucket I’ve had great success with: you can see the water line, and the handle is just big enough to get over the airlock no matter where it’s placed.

Works well, but the lid!!!

Midwest, please address the lid concerns in all the reviews with this product! The bucket is great. Even the handle wire and hand/finger guard on it are heavier duty. The lid does seal well at first, and takes some effort to take on/off. I believe this is the reason so many folks are seeing cracks around the rim of the ($8 !) lid --> because you have to pry with some effort to lift the lid locks off the rim of the bucket.
Why is a decent seal important? Not so much to see an airlock working as that is not the best evidence of a good fermentation. For me (making mead) the reason is when I have to move the bucket. Just placing the broken lid over the bucket is useless in the event you accidentally wobble a bit when moving it, and have the must come over the top of the bucket. I'm thinking about buying another one of these, but going to look a round a bit more. I have another bucket from another vendor that seals well, is a bit bigger, and the lid has lasted much longer (because it's easier to take on/off more than likely). That bucket still has some flaws too though.
