Hey all just thought i would let people know that bunnings have some stainless buckets. About $14 for a 15l and $12 for a 9l they are quite weighty and seem good quality. I grabbed one for a strip collection vessel and size is perfect to go under a 320ish mm parrot...

Hmmm, I got these the other day for $9.95... (9L) Might need to question your Bunnings lol.
But all in all they seem good, I got 3, not sure how long the handles will stay on, the spot welds look a little weak but nothing a pop rivet or three wouldn't fix

Hey UJ,

Got a link for these buckets mate?

Ok perhaps just my memory is off i got the 15l one dont seem to be on the site but are down where the plastic buckets and galvanised bins are...

Yeah I did a quick search and couldn't find them on the web site, I'd say they are a special item, they were in the paint section but not on the shelves, just in a box display.

All good.

I searched too and didn't find any SS buckets. There was a metal bucket, and i wanted to check that that wasn't what you guys were refering to.

I'll most likely be in there on the weekend so will have a look.

The sign on the box was "metal bucket" but label says stainless

Thanks lads. Scored a couple. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Bought the last 3 in stock, these will store my stripped wash perfectly

Lid? Or a good airing

Unfortunately no lids.. dunno what to do about that!

These make more sense I think. More capacity and no need to worry about lids.

Bit of glad wrap for a lid?
Works for a wash but how would it go with low wines trying to evaporate?

:wtf:

If you're going to use glad wrap to store low wines, you may as well just use a plastic bucket...

Foil?

Glass. Stainless. Copper. Nothing else.

Measure the diameter of top chance you have a saucepan lid same size?. How long were you planning on storing it in there? I am just going to use it to collect then pouring it in a demijohn...

Well i may have made a mistake buying. But im trying to save money storing my stripped runs, say 25-30l @ 40%

Anyway there goes that idea..

I did not suggest storing the low wines in glad wrap.

If you want to actually store your low wines why not just get another 50l keg, a 2" blanking plate and a 2" triclamp?

Well i know thats the best way, just trying to save a few bucks, no stress ill just save up! Apprentice life.. :angry-banghead:
