What things have you guys used as fermenters?
I'm planning on using this as a secondary fermenter if it is safe to. It's a 20L barrel that contained vegetable oil. I got it from work cos they said they were going to throw it out anyway. It's perfect cos it even has a little tap at the bottom. It will fit enough beer in it but it will be right up to the top i'm pretty sure. Do you need to leave a big gap at the top? I'm only going to use it for secondary so it should be fine since there wont be very much fermentation action at all.
I know I need to give it a really good clean with boiling water a few times and sterilizer.
Also I'm going to use the 'cling wrap with a pinhole in it' method as my airlock.
What do you guys reckon? Is it safe to use?
