5-Gallon Deer Park Water Bottle
|
|
Anything wrong with drilling a hole into a 5-Gallon Deer Park Water Bottle, adding a spigot, and using it ONLY as a bottleing bucket?

Can not think of any. Maybe harder to clean? I assume you have one already so go for it. It will only be in there for a short time so no oxidation concerns really.

If you want to use it as a bottling bucket, then you may want to just cut the neck off, and maybe even then install a handle (I see a lot of bars using them like this to haul ice in)
Then you will have an easier time drilling a spigot....Just make sure you're leaving plenty of space above the 5 gallon mark.

The bottle I have already has a handle... sweet!
How would taking the neck off help drill the hole though? I figured I'd leave the neck on so I can use the "Syphon w/ a Carboy Cap" trick.

Step Drill, no contest. Drills ROUND holes and does it like butter, even in steel.
Harbour Freight has a 3-pack (up to one inch) for about 15 bucks.
