I have been searching in stores and online trying to find something for sanitization. I have had no luck finding something cheap that will not use way to much water and star san. Where do I get a wallpaper tub?

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app
 
I used to dunk most of my items to sanitize, but now I sanitize most of my equipment with a professional quality pump sprayer and use a stainless surface on which to place my sanitized items.

This is much more convenient and efficient IMHO.
 
I bought this one when it was $9.00 shipped:

I found this one for cheaper:

I did use Amazon prime for the more expensive one and it took weeks to get to me. I don't know why, never got a notice that it was backordered. In the end, it arrived and I am happy to have it. I would go with the black one though not only because it is cheaper but because it is heavier. When you're lifting it full of star san to dump back into your bucket of star san (if you do that) you do not want it to buckle under the load.

I found mine at Lowes for less than $4. Bought one after my first brew day and glad I did. Makes sanitizing my thief and auto syphon a lot easier!
 
If you have a local Sherwin Williams paint store, I've found them for 6-7 bucks. May as well pick you up a 5 gallon paint strainer while you're there. lol It's just a lil flimsy on the sides, but it's not like you have to move it around much. I feel comfortable toting it across the room holding the ends w/o it collapsing.

I've also seen people use a length of 3" or 4" diameter PVC pipe with a cap on one end.

I use the wallpaper tub though...
