Plastic Fermentation Vessel 30L with Airlock & Tap — Transparent Food-Grade Fermenting Bucket

This 30-litre transparent HDPE fermentation vessel is a complete, ready-to-ferment solution for homebrewers, winemakers, and cider makers who want a reliable, food-grade fermenter with everything needed for a full fermentation run included straight out of the box. Supplied with an airlock, plastic tap, stopper, drilled lid cap, and sealing cap, this vessel covers every stage of the fermentation and dispensing process in a single, well-specified package — at a capacity suited to standard 20–25-litre homebrew batches with comfortable headspace to spare.

What makes this vessel a practical and popular choice for everyday fermentation is its combination of HDPE food-grade construction, hermetic sealing, and transparent walls. HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is a food-certified, odour-neutral, and chemically resistant material that handles the full range of brewing and winemaking applications safely and reliably — from primary fermentation of beer and wine through to storage of juice, olive oil, and other food-grade liquids. The two-part screw lid with rubber sealing ring creates a 100% airtight and watertight hermetic seal when closed, ensuring the contents are fully protected from oxygen ingress and contamination throughout fermentation and storage. The drilled lid cap accepts the included airlock directly, allowing CO₂ to escape during active fermentation while keeping outside air, wild yeast, and bacteria firmly out.

The transparent HDPE construction is a particularly practical feature — the liquid level is clearly visible through the vessel wall at all times, eliminating the need to open the lid for a volume check and allowing the brewer to monitor fermentation activity, sediment build-up, and liquid clarity from the outside without disturbing the fermentation environment. At 330mm tall and 390mm in diameter with a generous 300mm filling opening, this vessel is easy to fill, easy to clean, and easy to work with across its full capacity.
