- Durable and flexible - this 30 L fermentation vessel is made from white, food-safe plastic. It will not deform, is resistant to discolouration, and is suitable for fermenting beer, wine or sugar washes.
- Versatile design - the vessel's wide lid has an opening for a fermentation airlock. An additional opening beneath the rim also allows you to fit an angled airlock and ferment in several vessels at once, stacked one on top of another.
- Easy racking - the included rotating drain tap allows you to drain beer or wine completely from above the sediment. Its position does not interfere with turning the vessel or placing it on a flat surface.
- Stopper included - the set includes a universal stopper with a plug, so you can use a fermentation airlock or seal the vessel tightly when necessary.
This economical, complete set is ideal for preparing your favourite homemade drinks. The 30 L vessel is made from white, food-safe plastic that is both highly durable and flexible. The vessels have PZH approval for contact with food and are resistant to discolouration caused by tannins from fruit. The included lid with an opening and universal stopper with a plug allow you either to seal the vessel or fit a fermentation airlock. The additional opening allows you to install an angled airlock and ferment in several vessels stacked on top of one another.
Use:
To make the vessel easier to open, lift the lid slightly by gently pulling the handle, insert something such as a spoon handle into the gap, and then run it around the rim of the vessel.
Do not clean the vessels with abrasive scourers, as these may scratch the surface and create places where contamination can develop.
When fitting the tap to the vessel, place the seal on the outside of the vessel. This ensures a completely watertight seal.
The vessel and lid are made from polypropylene and are BPA-free.
NOTE: You can improve the seal further by applying petroleum jelly or cooking oil to the rim of the vessel. Before preparing a wash, thoroughly sanitise the fermentation vessel with metabisulphite.
Maximum permitted temperature of the contents: 85°C.

Storage with protection from UV radiation
To prevent damage caused by UV radiation, empty or filled vessels must not be stored outdoors. If this is not possible due to storage conditions, the vessels and lids must be stored in a way that protects them from UV radiation. For example, pallets containing vessels and lids can be covered with a plastic tarpaulin resistant to UV radiation.
Storage of empty vessels
As the vessels and lids are sensitive to atmospheric conditions, they should be stored in a dry place at a constant temperature. This not only protects them from moisture but also effectively prevents condensation, which can damage packaging decorated with offset printing, IML labels or digital printing. Furthermore, despite the use of an antistatic agent, contamination with dust or dirt cannot be ruled out, so the vessels must be stored in a clean room.
