Fermenting Bucket Filler Attachment

Post by backhousebrew »

I needed a way to avoid exposure of the cooled wort going into the fermenting bucket.
Here are some photos of what I came up with.

It looks like you have it stream to the sides of the bucket to improve aeration too.

Nice work...

But if you happen to have a boil kettle that large, it sounds like it's time to ferment in a Sanke keg and get one of Derrin's keg fermenter kits from brewershardware.com :lol:

With the mouth of the keg being so small, it's quite simple to put the tube in, set the fermenter kit over it, and get minimal exposure to the elements.
