yesterday i went to my LHBS and saw this in the middle of the store with all of the clearance items for $10. it holds 15+ gallons and originally held LME from Breiss. during the summer i won't be able to ferment in it but during the winter it stays cool enough to ferment big batches in. a #5 stopper fits in the the small hole for an airlock and my auto siphon will be able to drain this if i tie a lifeline to it and drop it in just short of the bottom a inch or two. it would be nice if i could put a spigot near the bottom, maybe i can find someone with a long skinny arm....
