Australian Homebrewing stocks drum-style fermenters in sizes that suit first batches through to big brew days. Pick a vessel with a locking lid, airlock, smooth tap, and clear volume marks. Add a reliable thermometer, a siphon or bottling wand, and fresh gaskets. Set the fermenter in a cool spot, fit the airlock, and take samples from the tap for calm transfers. Clean straight after each batch, rinse well, and store the vessel dry with the lid off.

What size suits a 23 litre recipe?
Choose a 30 litre fermenter to give headspace for krausen and temperature swings. Extra room prevents messy blow-offs and helps yeast work without stress. If you brew larger volumes, step up to 60 litres, then check your fridge height and door clearance before you buy.

How do I control fermentation temperature affordably?
Start with a cool, stable room. Add a heat belt and a simple controller for fine control, or place the fermenter in a fridge with an external thermostat. Hold the yeast in its preferred range and you will see cleaner flavours, predictable timelines, and consistent carbonation later.

Furthermore, our fermenting buckets, fermenter heater pads and extended list of brewing equipment is perfect for any aspiring brewer looking to complete their ensemble with some top-quality fermenting equipment.

Australian Home Brewing – Dedicated to Brewing Excellence

Australian Home Brewing has a genuine passion for top quality home brew. That’s how we started out all those years ago – distributing beer making ingredients to people with a passion for making delicious ale in their garage or shed.

We have since expanded to become Australia’s go-to for all things home brew and distilling-related. Furthermore, our products are all trialed and tested for us to ensure they are the very best. As serious, respected figures in the home brew industry, it’s only natural that we wouldn’t settle for second best when it comes to distributing superior homebrew equipment.

The same goes for our collection of fermenting gear. Our stainless-steel fermenters, heat pads, taps, airlocks, thermometers and more are always the best quality gear.
