The 35L SS Bucket Buddy with Heating is a great-value stainless steel fermenter designed for brewers who want a simple, durable, and practical upgrade from plastic fermentation vessels. With a 35L brimful capacity, stainless steel construction, and integrated heating, this fermenter is ideal for single-batch beer, cider, wash, and general fermentation projects.

One of the key advantages of the 35L SS Bucket Buddy with Heating is its built-in 36W concealed heating element. This allows brewers to support fermentation in colder environments without placing a heater directly in contact with the yeast. As a result, it helps reduce the risk of scorching while maintaining a more suitable fermentation temperature during cooler months.

The 304 stainless steel body provides excellent durability and long-term hygiene benefits. In addition, stainless steel is easy to clean, resistant to staining, and ideal for repeated brewing use. The large 30cm top opening also makes cleaning and filling much easier compared to narrow-neck fermenters.

The 35L SS Bucket Buddy with Heating includes ergonomic handles for easier movement when empty and a digital temperature display for quick temperature checks. Furthermore, the stainless steel lid provides a solid and reliable fit during fermentation.

The included stainless ball valve and rotating racking arm make transferring liquid easier after fermentation. However, for best hygiene, we recommend removing the ball valve and heat sterilising it between batches by boiling it in water. This helps keep your equipment cleaner and supports better fermentation results.

Whether you are brewing at home, fermenting in a cool shed, or looking for a low-cost stainless steel fermenter with built-in heating, the 35L SS Bucket Buddy with Heating offers excellent value, convenience, and performance.
