I just got an interesting response to my ad on craigslist looking for kegs.
The guy says they're plastic and were used to hold flouride for adding to well water. They do have corrosive warning labels on them, which concentrated flouride would, but once emptied and rinsed well I can't imagine there'd be enough left to pose a health hazard.
I've emailed back asking for more details, and pictures, but thought I'd ask here in the mean time since I can't really form a mental picture of what he's talking about.
Does anyone who knows more about this than me know if they would likely be food safe with proper rinsing/cleaning? Are we talking more like plastic barrels than something like a "keg"?
I'm thinking that if they're enclosed, or at least have good lids, they might be candidates for conversion to large fermenters.
He's got 10 or so at 5 bucks each, so if they'd be usable I'd hate to pass this up.
