Hey All... I'm brand new here, never posted before but have been brewing for years. I'm recently working out what kind of set up I can use to ferment large volumes of beer. I am going to use some plastic conicals... but also hoping to use some of these if I put some valves on the bottom, and grommets on the lid for air lock / blow off tubes. Check them out :

I spoke to the seller today and he said other people have purchased them intending to use them as fermenters also... he doesn't know much about the material they're made of only that it was for shipping "bagged coffee extract" ... whatever that means.
I looked at some Spiedel plastic fermenters that are essentially the same shape, size and even have the same style lids and handles as these tanks... how can I know for sure that what this guy is offering will be safe to use as a fermenting vessel?
Any advice, suggestions or answers will be greatly appreciated.
