Brew2Bottle 25ltr Bucket & Lid with Grommet

Good...with a limitation

This is a good bucket - sturdy and with a good seal. The wire handle makes it slightly more difficult to carry than with side handles but this is not a significant issue. The bucket is narrower than most, which is good for confined spaces. The only significant downside is that the overall volume is only 25 litres, so there is not much 'ullage' space from the top of your wort or must to the underside of the lid. Therefore if your brew is particularly lively and produces a thick krausen it will probably make it's was up into the airlock and potentially overspill onto the bucket lid. I usually have to change out airlocks a couple of times during the course of a brew. Not a big deal, and this bucket remains good value...just about to order another!

Poor lid fitting

I never thought I could give a poor review for a bucket ! But , sadly , the lid is so tight that I nearly lost my nails trying to remove it. It’s the only item from this supplier that I have been disappointed with.

Packaging

Items arrived on time but poor packaging led to broken goods an dented tins
