Hey all,
I was eating dinner with my wife at our favorite Sushi place when I noticed one of the waiters getting ready to throw out a Sake box. I asked him if I could have it and he said yes. So I took it home and here is what I found. It is almost five gallons and comes with its own on/off spigot that will adapt to a blow off hose, (it is similar to what come on the plastic brew buckets). The box has a handle which makes it really easy to move around when full. The liner is made out of LDPE and has a recycle #4 on the bottom. I am thinking of using two of them for my next batch as fermenters. The box says it is 18 liters or 4.76 gallons but the liner is marked 20 liters which is 5.28. The box dimensions are 12"x12"x12" I can stick two of them in my fermentation chamber. Whats everyone think? Free food safe fermenters??? I would think if they store Sake in it, it should be ok for beer???
