Cheap $4 20l Mayo Style Buckets - Adelaide

[pokolbinguy]

Just a heads up for anyone in Adelaide looking for some cheap 20L mayo style buckets with lids for brewing. I picked up two this arvo for $4 each from the local "Barnacle Bill's" (fish and chips shop)....was the store on port rush rd (glen osmond end). The lady that served me said they always have heaps.

Great for grain storage, fermenting or building a basic mash tin which is what I am doing.

Also Camping mats at "Sam's Warehouse" are $5.99 atm...only the thin ones but should do the job.

Cheers, Pok

What size in litres are they...

 

[pokolbinguy]

20 litres GMK so should be good for single batches.

Dude, its the economic downturn, the used mayo bucket market is in tatters.

ask at your local hotel/ community centre, preferably one with a big kitchen, they might give them to you.

Thats what I was planning on doing....but when they were only $4 ea I couldnt be bothered searching any further. Not worth the time/petrol etc

Perhaps we could organise a bulk buy and screw the price down to $3

$4 is a bargain compared to the new ones in the big green shed I saw for $11.99 h34r:

Mitani`s at Salisbury has them for around the same money, last time I got 10 for $30

Just an update on this. I went in there Friday and picked up 4, and the lady said they have at least another dozen out the back and they're happy to be rid of them. I'm using them to build a bucket-in-a-bucket mash tun.

For those in Melbourne, the Bitches get their buckets (also at $4) with lids from http://www.secondhandstuff.com.au/

They're olive buckets and are generally a bit mucky - but clean up well.
