6.5 Gallon Bottling Bucket with Spigot Hole

6.5 Gallon Bottling Bucket with Spigot Hole

This 6.5 gallon bottling bucket comes with a pre-drilled spigot hole, making it a practical dedicated vessel for packaging beer, cider, mead, wine, kombucha, and soda. The extra headspace over a 5 gallon batch helps when mixing priming solution and moving finished beverage into bottles.

A bottling bucket is most useful when you want smoother transfers and more consistent priming than trying to fill directly from a fermenter. Pair it with the correct spigot, tubing, bottle filler, and sanitizer, then keep it dedicated to clean-side packaging work whenever possible.

Why use a bottling bucket?

• Priming sugar mixing: gently combine priming solution with the finished batch before filling bottles.
• Cleaner workflow: fill bottles from a spigot and bottling wand instead of repeatedly starting a siphon.
• Batch flexibility: useful for beer, cider, mead, wine, kombucha, and non-alcoholic soda projects.
• Setup check: install and leak-test the spigot before the bucket is full.

Pair it with bottling supplies, bottle filling equipment, bottles, and closures.
