Cheapest fermenters!

[smonteton]

I bought twenty 4G buckets with lids for 20$ from the recycle center. The buckets are food safe and white. I also bought 20 3 piece airlocks from the local brew shop. So now i have plenty of fermenting room 80g for 35$.

Thats 2 gallons of fermenting room for a dollar! Would suggest others to take advantage of similar situations.

oh hecks yeah! I've been asking around for used food-grade buckets in industrial kitchens -no luck so far.

I just wish I had a fermentation chamber big enough to hold 80 gallons of fermenting wort....

I go to the bakery sections of the grocery stores and usually get a couple 5gal food grade buckets with lids for free.... can't best that.
