MoreBeer 6 Gallon Food Safe Bucket – $9.99 + Free Ship Eligible, Limited Availability

Plastic Bucket - 6 gal. FE340

6 Gallon Food Grade Bucket from MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

A food-grade six gallon plastic bucket perfect for all kinds of home beer or winemaking activities. Plastic buckets are often used as a fermenter, bottling bucket, or even sanitizer bucket. We go through thousands which helps keep our price down. If you want to use it as a fermenter you will also need to pick up the optional lid, stopper, and airlock. This bucket is also available in a version that includes a spigot (see recommended products below).

If you use this plastic bucket for fermentation be sure to use care when cleaning. Do not use any abrasive pads that would scratch. Once you get a scratch in a plastic bucket it is very hard to sanitize.  This is also why we don’t recommend storing equipment in a bucket between uses as a fermenter. A hot PBW soak is often a perfect way to clean a bucket, followed by a Star San soak for killing bacteria.

Bucket has external volume markings up to 5 gallons.

  • Buckets are translucent and do not come with lids.
  • Buckets are not designed to hold pressure.
  • Lids are not gasketed and so do not always form a perfect, airtight seal. Not intended for long-term storage.
  • Food grade up 180°F.

  • EASY TO INSTALL – Snap the adapter ring to the bucket and spin the lid clockwise to seal. Spin the lid counter-clockwise to open. Install time: a few minutes. Perfect replacement for frustrating traditional 5-gallon bucket lids.
  • PROTECT AND KEEP FOOD FRESH – Create a container to store your dog food, cat food, chicken feed, or horse feed. Be prepared for an emergency and use it for dry food storage. Keep it in your pantry for bulk foods like rice, salt, or flour. Brine your turkey or marinate meats.

These are very similar in function to Gamma Seal Lids [Hands on Review]

You attach attach an adapter ring on your compatible bucket.  The inner lid screws on and off, while the adapter ring remains installed.  Quick easy and airtight.  No more prying off standard bucket lids.  Use buckets + these lids for grain storage and more.

How much grain can you store in a 5 gallon bucket?  My rule of thumb for grain storage capacity is 5 lbs per gallon.  With that estimate a  50 lb sack of grain fits in (2) 5 gallon buckets.  That’s an estimate and will vary.
