FAQ
Problem 1: Is the material of this fermenter truly safe and durable? Can it be used for fermenting acidic foods like kimchi?
Absolutely. This product is made from durable, BPA-free, food-grade materials, guaranteeing a pure and safe environment for all your creations. It is perfectly safe for fermenting acidic foods like kimchi, as well as beer and wine, and will not react with the food or impart any odors.
Problem 2: How much beverage can the 6.5-gallon capacity actually produce?
The generous 6.5-gallon capacity is ideal for batch brewing. For example, when brewing beer, this size is perfect for a standard 5-gallon batch, allowing you to yield approximately 50-53 twelve-ounce bottles of beer in one go, making it ideal for homebrewers or small gatherings.
Problem 3: Is the wide-mouth design really that easy to clean?
Yes, this is a core advantage of our design. Compared to traditional narrow-necked carboys, the wide opening allows your hand and cleaning tools to easily reach every interior surface for a thorough clean without any hard-to-reach spots. You won't need to buy special long-handled brushes, making cleaning remarkably simple.
Problem 4: Could the integrated spigot be a potential area for residue buildup or leakage?
Our spigot is carefully designed to facilitate cleaning and prevent leakage. We recommend rinsing it promptly after each use. For a deep clean, the wide-mouth design allows you to easily reach inside to wipe around the spigot's interior connection. When installed correctly, it provides a secure seal with minimal risk of leakage under normal use.
Problem 5: Does the screw-on lid provide an airtight seal? Will this prevent gas from escaping during fermentation?
The primary function of this screw-on lid is to provide a reliable seal for storage or specific types of fermentation (e.g., kombucha, kimchi). However, please note that for primary fermentation requiring strict anaerobic conditions (like most beer brewing), the lid should not be fully tightened to prevent a dangerous pressure buildup. Instead, you should drill a hole in the lid and fit it with a dedicated airlock, which allows CO₂ to escape while blocking outside air. The lid itself is designed for easy opening and closing, making it simple to attach accessories and add ingredients.
