Looking for an affordable, closed bottom pressure fermenter that will hold a 23L (6 gallon) batch of beer?
Chubby is perfect for 23-25L batches and still provides plenty of fermenter headspace.
These rugged, durable PET pressure fermenters are made from the same crystal clear PET material as our entire line of pressure fermenters and unitanks.
Chubby features the same hardware on the lid as a Ball Lock Keg so gas and liquid are easily controlled for transfers, fermentaion pressure and serving.
Brewers can still extract bright, clear beer after fermentation by way of the floating diptubes that come standard with each Chubby fermenter.
Chubby can be cleaned with your Corny Cleaner or simply soak in 50C or under of your favourite cleaning solution.
The super smooth interiors make it easy to remove fermentation debris, making clean up simple.
Dimensions:
Height = 595 to top of posts on the lid
Width = 300mm round
*Please Note: Phosphoric acid sanitisers should have the pH range between 2.2 - 2.8. This is about a 1.5 - 2ml of sanitiser in 1L of water. Above the pH of 2.8, the sanitiser fails the 30-second test to prevent microbial growth. Below 2.2ph range, the sanitiser will affect the flavour of beer.
Heat does more damage to PET fermenters than chemicals. Above 50 degrees Celsius, the PET can soften and deform permanently. It is best to allow hot cleaning solutions to cool down to at least 40 degrees C before use.
Adhering to these recommendations will ensure the integrity of your fermenter tank for its useable life.

Brewing frequently asked questions
How long does it take to brew beer?
The time it takes to brew beer can vary, but on average, the process takes about 4 to 6 weeks. This includes the various stages such as malting, mashing, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, and bottling. However, some beer styles may require longer aging periods for optimal flavor development.
Is home brewing worth it?
Many people find home brewing to be a rewarding and enjoyable hobby, allowing them to create unique and customised beers. It provides a deeper understanding of the brewing process and offers the opportunity to experiment with different ingredients and styles. Additionally, home brewing can be cost-effective in the long run compared to purchasing craft beers. However, it requires time, effort, and a certain level of commitment. Whether it's worth it ultimately depends on one's passion for brewing and the satisfaction derived from the process and the end product.
Is home brewing legal?
Home brewing for personal use is generally legal, and there is no need for a specific license as long as certain conditions are met. Home brewers are allowed to produce beer, wine, and cider for personal consumption. However, there are limits on the amount that can be brewed without a license. As of January 2022, the limits were 100 litres for beer and 100 litres for wine per household.
It's important to stay informed about any updates or changes in the regulations, so it's advisable to check with local authorities or brewing associations for the most current information regarding home brewing laws in the UK. Always ensure that you comply with the relevant regulations and guidelines to enjoy home brewing within the legal framework.
