I recently went to my local donut shop and picked up 5 buckets (3.5-4 gallon I think) with lids. They were used to store things like raspberry filling and maple icing.
I am going to try and scrub and sanitize them to remove the flavor.... Now I know people will say, that it will impart flavor in the beer no matter what you do. But I am going to use that to my advantage, brew a sweet stout in the icing bucket and a raspberry blonde in the raspberry bucket, etc.
Since the buckets are only 3.5 or 4 gallons they will be great for splitting batches and experimenting with additives, ferm times, temperatures etc.
The very best part about it was that they are free, the owner was happy to get rid of them.
Has anyone else tried this strategy?
