Wow, who knew a bucket was so expensive?!

Less than $7 for their "premium" 5 gallon buckets and just over $1 for the lid. They are FDA approved. They also have 6 and 7 gallon buckets.

I decided to go this route when my original 6.5 gal. "Ale Pail" was ready for retirement. I ordered three of their 7 gallon buckets (I really like the extra headspace), with lids (the lids each of a different color for easy identification), shipped for around $30. This is a great deal, IMHO.

Checked out more beer, looks good. I just bought a new kit and with the $25 bucket in use, I decided to look locally for one for sale. Found basically a starter kit with glass carbouy, bucket, lid, airlock, hydrometer, syphon, thermometer, bottle filler, bottle washer, capper, 12 1L plastic bottles and 24 725ml bottles for $40.
