I have been going through my brew gear as part of my 2015 effort to brew better,my old graduated buckets like the one linked below are two years old now and while not minging are very mishapen on top and no longer sealing reliably and i reckon could do with changing.I have four carboys but tbh what i want to do is put them back in reserve as a fallback and go back to using plastic FV's for primary(might even consider selling them off to fund the new plastic fv's),i don't do secondary anymore so carboys are a bit of a nuisance to use and move around tbh and i find them difficult to handle atm,buckets so much handier. ;D

What i would like to get is a couple new fv's like either of the ones below price dependant.

That one above but in 30 litre size at least.

Or a couple of those Spiedel ones above which tbh i prefer the look off having seen them but finding them and price etc. ;D

The wide beech are very sturdy but are smaller than the bucket so that might be a consideration. The bucket is more flexible. Both are easy to clean though but can scratch.
