Just a hair over ten gallons to the absolute top. I calculate 5.85 gallons to the step.

10.8 total gallons to the lip. 8.1 gallons to the step. 2.7 gallons above the step. 133% headspace above the step.

perfect use for country wine making# 4 gallons of cherries# 4 gallons of grapes# 4 gallons of apples# 2 gallons of currants#1 gallons of mulberriesall fresh picked. Plenty of room for frementationalso had an issue with a 7.9 gallon fermenter

We purchased two of these to make blueberry wine. They work fantastic!

Handy container size and sturdy

This fermenter is a perfect size for a single 5 gallon bucket of frozen grapes, as sold by Brehm and others. you need to have this much room so that your cap has room to rise. Nicely made and very easy to clean. The lid fits perfectly. Also could be used for almost any kind of food-type storage I guess. Highly recommended.

for storing some of my grain. Works great!
