Bottling bucket 33 L with tap and bottle filler – complete bottling system

A 33 litre bottling bucket for bottling day. It comes complete with lid, tap and a sturdy bottle filler.

The lid has a hole for an airlock. The bucket is made of food-grade plastic.

Frequently asked questions about bottling buckets

Why should I use a bottling bucket?

You get a cleaner beer with less sediment, because hops and yeast stay in the fermenter. The sugar can also be mixed evenly through the whole batch before bottling.

Is the bottle filler included?

Yes. The bucket comes with lid, tap and a sturdy bottle filler.

How do I avoid oxygen pickup?

Let the beer flow gently into the bucket without splashing, and stir carefully when mixing in the sugar solution.

Can I use carbonation drops instead of sugar solution?

Yes. Put one drop in each bottle and use the bottling bucket only to fill clear beer into the bottles.
