120L Fermenter

[Yenren]

Hi guys I am looking for 120L fermenter or food grade barrel, the homebrew company do them but their price is insane 100 euro.

You want a 120 litre fermenter and rekon that €100 is too expensive?
Are there any typos in this question?

Can you post the link please?

How about a conical?

If you're not prepared to part with too much money try your local livestock mart. Chances are there'll be someone selling plastic barrels like these.

What part of the country are you in?

That's the one I just think there must be a cheaper option.

I live down Ballinspittle way. I have been looking at these kind of barrels i suppose i am looking for conformation that they are safe to brew in?

Thanks for the replys lads

Are they safe? I don't have a scientific answer to that by I'm sure Ciderhead will be along soon to scare the shite out of you. I'd say chance it. What's the worst that will happen? You'll see moving statues 

I've seen a guy selling those drums at Bandon Mart. There's also a lad selling them at Hobb's Yard in Curraheen.

This looks like it's good quality stuff. It's food safe. It's fit for purpose. If you make 100 liters of good beer it's paid for after its first batch.

Alpack 30L buckets are here http://www.alpack.ie/VC105__30_Litre_Bucket_Sold_Individually/Default.710.html  At 5.95 euro each. Im in ballinadee if you want to split delivery cost on a few of these instead of a 120L. I'll pm my details....

Ha haa sharp mind there .

[imark]

4x30L will be a lot easier to lift too. I've used alpack buckets as fermenter and as grain storage and they are perfect.
