Best inflate gate joke yet!

This is exactly what I'm thinking of doing. I got 2 gallon Polypropylene buckets from a friend of mine that works at Walmart. They were used for frosting previously. After doing some googling, it appears the buckets should stand up to the heat. Seems like some brewers boil in the material...

I did not take notes. I don't remember the differences but my attempt was not close to sucks. The search for a clone continues!

Magnum probably makes sense. For some reason I keep wanting to use hop extract on everything.... Trying to justify buying a container of it. As far as containers I have 2 gallon buckets a buddy got from his work. I'm not sure if they would stand up to 180+ for 30 minutes. I had heard on a...
