This great value fermenter is pretty much the best value way to get into fermenting single batches in a stainless steel fermenter. With a built in concealed 36W element it allows fermentation control in cold climates without fear of scorching the yeast. It's made from stainless steel has ergonomic handles, a large 30cm opening at the top for easy cleaning.
As this vessel has been manufactured with a stainless ball valve we would recommend removal of ball valve and heat sterilising each batch. (boil in water)

"Value for money Great product"
"Everything is great, except the tap and goose neck idea, that DOESN'T work, surely they could offer a normal ball valve tap with 90° outlet and better flow."
"Used this for the first time and so much easier to clean that the plastic versions, the heater worked well and only really changed 1 degree either side of what I selected, the only thing I would like to see is a removable cord, would just make it little easier to clean and not worry about tripping over a cord :)"
"Excellent product guys, great, fast service and not too bad freight cost. The fermenter that I ordered was not in stock at the time but I received an email from Kegland as soon as there was. Excellent service from these guys."
"No more heat pads or blankets required. Easy to clean and maintains a steady temperature throughout fermenation. Love it."
"Loved it, best fermenter i have ever used and also the added heating element was great turned out a productive yield."
"Really handy SS fermenter. The element is perfect as well."
"Great product, kept the temperature constant during my first brew. Light and easy to clean."
"My Bucket Buddy is currently fermenting its first batch while I'm away for a few days on holidays, so I can't leave a photo. When I left, it was working beautifully. It's early days, but I was quite impressed by the build quality and general appearance of the BB. I have no criticisms of it at all. One thing's for certain, it's at least a whole order of magnitude better than the plastic buckets I've been using. Actually I'm even looking forward to getting back home to get back to processing the batch with it!"
"Great piece of kit especially during the colder months. Fermentation in an easy to clean stainless fermenter with yeast kept at a constant temperature. Happy yeast! The fermzilla jacket is a fabulous addition and recommended. Great value, prompt delivery and a great step up from the plastic."
