Would this work for a fermenter?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a large fermenter of at least 200L, which are ridiculously expensive in New Zealand. But I cam across these food grade plastic barrels that people typically use for things like storing rain water and I wondered if they would be suitable as a fermenter. The price is certainly right.

Having heard various toxicoly discussions related to being, my assumption is that as long as they are food grade they would be fine. But am I possibly missing something?

Any thoughts for or against these as fermenters:

Here's the link to the one I'm looking at: http://www.trademe.co.nz/home-livin...atory/watering-spraying/auction-898077035.htm
