hello

my first question

where to buy a 60 or 50 litre bucket for use as a boiler seen a picture in one of the brewdays of a thriftyshopper bucket looks massive but it seems to me the only stock 25litre ones?

I know they'll cost a little more, but large stockpots from Asian cash and carry's seem to be reasonably priced

I got a 60 litre fermenting bucket from Brew UK to make my boiler:

is it ok and sturdy looks like the one hop and grape have stopped using?

whats it like when boiling

Seems to be fine. It's a thicker plastic than the 25 litre FV I used for a HLT.

There's a 50 litre stock pot on ebay at the minute bid is at £10 ish, runs out in 3 days (5th oct)
