Thrifty version of big mouth bubbler?

Is anyone aware of a cheap clear 25 litre plus container that can be used go ferment?

Have you had a look at the Wilko fermenters?

I bought one a few days ago and a thermometer sticker for it too.

Haven’t brewed anything in it yet but it’s cheap and cheerful.

Hi Jonny - I have one of those already... I specifically wanted a clear one to evaluate the clarity of the product during the clearing process.

What price are you thinking of re thrifty?
Also will plastic do?

It’s £35 on Beer Hawk;

plastic is fine and the same one is on ebay for £30. for like a tenner or something. A re-purposed water carrier or something like that, the ones you see in water dispensers... but i think they are only 18l.

You can get clear 25L water bottles . I often see them in non-chain supermarkets around London Iirc the last one I had a close look at had greek writing on it

 

[needmorstuf]

sounds perfect... I live in yorkshire so we dont have many non chain supermarkets but i will keep an eye out.

Just keep an eye out for ethnic-y type shops who have likey to have bought supplys from sources from places abroud
