Alright, I'm just trying to be a cheapo here. I've been extract brewing for a while and doing the standard 5gal batch. I've been trying to find the cheapest way of doing 10 gal instead? I've seen some fermentors that look like garbage cans that will hold 20 gal for around 45.00. It also says something about it shipping in the 70lb price range due to size though. Not sure what that means but sounds more expensive to me. Can anyone suggest maybe some possibly non conventional fermenter that I could use for this. Thoughts?

Cheapest? Two 7 gallon pails, splitting the total wort volume between them.

How are you going to keep 10 gallons of fermenting wort in a single large vessel cool?

They have tuff tanks for about $50 for a 14 gallon size. Free Shipping.

Wow, I'd never heard of that place before. But after going to their site...I'm drooling over this:

Use a sanke keg. All stainless and you can move everything with CO2.
