Brew Bucket - Bowing at the sides?

kahunaman · Nov 18, 2008

Not sure if anyone else has ever noticed this, but today I was looking at one of the primary fermenting buckets I use (Currently filled with a Tripel for 3 weeks) and the sides of it toward the bottom are "bowed" out a bit. Nothing too huge, but this is thick plastic. Anyone else seen this?

Nah, you'll be just fine. The buckets, if food grade, are super resilient. One of mine accidentally got bent into an oval shape in storage and I was able to kind of mold it back into shape

All mine do it. I thought it was how they were cast to begin with.

I thought the same thing.
Lets run with that then.

Never noticed it on mine. I would just give the top a tap to make sure that the airlock isn't plugged and it is still releasing CO2.
