I know people sometimes have issues getting the lids onto their fermenters tightly. I saw these (looking for grain storage myself) and wondered if anyone had tried them for fermenting in. Simple to drill a hole and add a stopper and airlock, and easy to get a seal, made of HDPE like the other buckets according to their site. And only 8.72 for a 6.5 gallon bucket from usplastics

As I said I think I'll be buying a few for bulk grain storage. I can easily fit a 55 lb bag of grain in two of these.

I like those. I think they'd work fine for fermenting. The dolly they recommend would be a good idea if you're using them for grain storage.
