  I've been weighing my options, and I think the vittles vault solution is a bit over the top.
  Seems pails from Home Depot and a lid with a gasket would suffice, and is significantly
  cheaper. This sound...

  Is this used merely to balance pH? Little else?Going to be making lagers and pilsners for the
