Advice on building a 20+ gallon bottling bucket

[gimpmeister]

For the past year i have been using the 5 gallon bottling bucket from the Brewer's Best kit. It had worked great but i need more.
A friend and i are brewing the beer for his wedding so we have significantly upped or game. Did 20 gallons of apple wine as separate batches, but with the variations between batches we are looking for more consistency and want to be able to blend the 4 5 gallon batches of stout to bottle all at once.
I assume we could use the spigot we have already, but what could i use for a 20 gallon bucket for bottling?

Bottling 20 gallons?! You are a good friend.

I would look @ champagne bottles, lots less work.

Dog food container sounds like it would be perfect with its flat sides.

This one is 37 gallons : dog food container 50 lbs

In all honesty, one of these, a paddle bit the size of your existing spigot, and you're done. They're food grade.

Well the plastic spigot from my 5 gal bottling bucket be strong enough or do i need something stronger to do 20 gal?

IMO, yes

You could always just pick up one of the dog food containers (or whatever you decide on that will hold all 20gal), blend the 4 batches there, then rack 5gal at a time to your current bucket.

or you could just siphon off x amount from each fermentor into one bottling bucket, rinse repeat until you've bottled it all. Would save you buying a specialty bucket.
