I just got back from the Brew Hut and Steve wanted me to let everyone know that he’s got 9 16 gallon containers that formerly housed extract that can be used as fermenters.
Yes, it’s plastic, but it’s FREE. All you need to do is clean it out. It’s made of PET plastic (food safe).
A #5 stopper fits quite well in the small hole for an airlock.
Did I mention these were FREE! Perfect for 10 gallon batches – lots of room for blowoff.
Steve also mentioned that he goes through 2 to 3 of these per month, so if you miss out now, you can check back later.
Cheers!
