I have this bright(stupid) idea that I'm gonna run a bunch of half-batches while I wait for my AG batches to ferment. I'm looking to do stovetop batches, and will obviously need a bunch of cheap, small fermenters.
Looking at most HB shops, 5 gallon buckets with grometted lids run upwards of 15$ a piece, plus shipping costs.
This site: http://nelsonpaint.com/Merchant2/me...D&Product_Code=0729E&Category_Code=Containers has five gallon, food grade buckets on the cheap, but I'm not sure if they're #1 or #2 plastic.
I'm more of a DIY kinda guy, so I'm ok drilling and grometing every bucket I buy. I'd even be happy with 3 gallon glass jugs, but it's just impossible to find them for a reasonable price when you include shipping. There's nothing local close by either. Has anyone used these buckets before or have a suggested cheap alternative?
