well my fella does security on building sites and got me about 5 they only throw them away so i begged them. They have them in offices too. Just have to be cheeky and ask for them :) they hold 19ltrs and are a god send when doing larger batches. :)

yes looks like the one on right is drinkable...lol or at least to me i keep trying to keep some back but my fella promises people it before it is even ready. trouble is they don't return my bottles :)
