Edit: If you're worried about HDPE and would rather use PP, I've found this bucket as well. I didn't see anything in the rules about linking to other sites, but if I'm in the wrong would the mods please remove this edit :thumb:

That's were I got my two from. Ones being used as a grain store and the others earmarked for a fermenter.
They had hundreds of them a few weeks back

I am going to be grabbing one of each from the ebay links for a boiler and a mash tun. The guy has quoted me £13 or so for shipping on the pair which I guess isn't too bad.

Hoping the small one can be insulated well enough to not lose too much heat during the mash, but we'll see. I'll definitely let you know how I get on once they're in an assembled.

For fermenting make sure you get the screw top version not the clamp one in your pics.
The clamped versions do not seal properly for fermenting.

Nah, I've got plenty of normal FVs for fermenting. Going to be making these babies into a Mash tun and a boiler :)

I have six of them HLT Mash Tun and Boiler fermenters and I also use one for cleaning bottles. I have had no problems with them. The ones I have the plastic is about 4mm thick. The price of those is not bad either.

Cheers
