Should be able to pick up a keg for not much mate, and you don't need a blanking plate and triclamp to seal it up

Then once you've got 45-50L at 40% you know your ready for a spirit run, easy.
Im just using these buckets to empty the hot Dunder and maybe one for a mixing vessel after cuts, but storage is in glass or stainless.
Just think Joel, the amount of $2 cheap plastic buckets you've bought that fail, now you'll never need to buy another bucket in your whole life! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

These buckets are handy. can still get them had mine for about a year now.things I have found is if not dried out after use they will develop rust spots and eventually leak.another thing they say 9L but mine only hold roughly 7.5 litres

Must be pretty good stainless if it goes rusty! I'll pass.

Found this a good read just now on stainless steel and its composition. related to the rust talk above...
