Im trying to figure out what to use to ferment 15 gal of beer, what do you guys use?
Fordmi said:I use these but I get them locally for a much better price.
Edit: Put it on a heavy duty plant rolling tray so you can move it around and I guess you could siphon but I really couldn't imagine doing it without a pump.
I just started using one of these.
18 gallon capacity.

Mojzis said:I looked, but those are blue and the price is quite high. I know a lot of people ask at places such as bakeries to get used food grade (and safe) used containers. It would be very nice picking one of those up for free!
I am transitioning to Spiedel fermenters right now, but I currently have (3) 18 gallon blue hdpe barrels that I got from my LHBS and they work just fine.
The LHBS in question gets their bulk LME in these barrels so they need a cleaning to get out all the leftover LME but I figured if they were okay for distributing the LME they would be okay to ferment in.
The barrels I'm using were free. I snagged them from their recycle pile. It is worth checking with your LHBS.
Cheers.
Hope that helps
