120 sounds good if available. Four 25l batchs and some head room. I really want a 100l milk can but will prob end up with a 50l keg :handgestures-thumbdown:

Picked up my 190l olive drums for my fermenters, the cleaning process has begun,
Go to Broome for a week on Wednesday to two more days of cleaning and then a good week and a half of airing hopefully will be clean enough and mostly smell less :) hahaha

I did the plates first then slid the pipes in, and soldered them, just need to be really carefull with heat

Another question, with fores do I take them out on a stripping run or just take out a lot more on the spirit run?
Cheers
