I'm using the same system to ferment: salvavida 5gals bottle+stopper+airlock... Works great but yes, these are 4 gallons batches, 4.5 if you use a blowoff tube.
About the sanitizer: I use a vegetable cleaner that I buy at the supermarket, it's called Biocyde... It says it's made of salts of: Poly (hexamethylene biguanide) and alkyldimethil benzyl amonium. 16.40 gramos por 1000ml... This sounds like chinese to me but you guys know about chemistry... I would actually be interested to have your opinion about the product!
That's what we use to disinfect veggies we plan on eating raw, it's a quaternary ammonium and PAPB; as Patzaquel said though, you need to rinse them off with soap or run the risk of ingesting benzylic compounds which aren't really good for you.
