Frequently asked questions
- What batch size does the FastRack 6.5 Gallon Fermenting Bucket with Lid handle?
- It is listed at 6.5 gallons, which suits 5 gallon batches at a push. Always leave headspace: a fermenter filled to the brim will push krausen into the airlock, and a kettle filled to the brim will boil over.
- Is the FastRack 6.5 Gallon Fermenting Bucket with Lid worth the price?
- It sits in the beginner tier on this site at $31.95. Whether that is right for you depends on how often you brew. Equipment cost spreads across every batch you make, so a more expensive system that gets used fortnightly can work out cheaper per pint than a budget one that gets used twice a year.
