Water Jerry Cans As Fermenters?

[Tony]

Does anyone know if you can get 60 liter cubes?

I used to use the 25 liter ones for brewing lagers and ales. A bit of bleech or napisan clean them up well with a good soaking.

I could brew 2 batches at once to save power.

soaking in a bleach solution for a day or 3 will kill off the black spots. just be sure to rinse in hot water afterwards.

My neighbour has some 1000L cubes Never seen a 60 though.

General rule if I'm about to empty a cube of any sort I have my HLT filled and heated up to around 90 degrees. As soon as the cubes are emptied to the fermenter I fill them with hot water and 2 teaspoons of Napisan.

Be too easy to let an unnoticed mould spot propogate otherwise. :blink:

I just had a look at Cospak who sell the cubes but none in 60 ltrs just the fermenter drums.

I just make up 2 cubes and then pour them into the 60 ltr fermenter that fits in my fridge.
