I ran across these at the grocery store for $7 a piece and thought of buying a few so I can always have a batch or two of cider going (its so much cheaper, so why not..). Are there any problems I might run into with using these to ferment 5 gal batches of cider and/or beer?
The only clear problem I can think of is the possibility of overflow, but either reducing batch size or using a blowoff tube could easily prevent that. Anything else I should be concerned about?
