Hey guys,
I've been putting out around 38L batches on my new 3V and for the moment been splitting the wort into a 30L fermenter and a 10L cube. Same for bottling, been racking the 30L into a 30L bucket for bottling and same again from 10L into another 10L cube.
Not too bad, gives me a chance to split yeasts, experiment with dry hops, just play around - but I've just ordered myself a 60L fermenter for keeping it all in the one vessel and eventually when I upgrade to a 70L boil kettle I'll be ok.
So my question, for the near future what are my options for a bottling bucket around the 40L mark? Before I have to shell out for another 60L (which I will eventually do, but not for a little while if I can help it) just thought I'd see if there are any cheap vessels around 40L that I could drill a hole in and chuck a tap on to bottle with. Any secrets!?....(and don't want to receive a chorus of "KEGGING" as the answer )
Cheers
