I'm looking for about half a dozen ~5L (3kg malt) airtight containers to store malt. Anybody got reasonably priced recommendations? Bonus points for rodent proof and stackable.

I use the monster ones from ikea and know they are mouse proof as the fucker went for an old bag of my carbonation drops instead before I "got" him
It's alright though I brushed them off before using them

The Packaging Centre on the Naas Rd. have really good tamper proof buckets. I pop in there on the way home from work to pick up buckets for grain when I need them. They also have an online shop (http://epackaging.ie/product-category/general-purpose/bucketspailstubspots/) if you can't makeit out that way.
Alpack (http://www.alpack.ie/Plastic_Buckets__Pots_Tamper_Evident/Default.24.html) out in Sandyford are also very good.

I use the Ikea €1 glass jars with plastic lids for speciality grains and old fermenters to hold the rest.

I got a few of the tillsluta storage containers from ikea, they're all modular so perfect for stacking, here's the 5.5l version

Yeah they are, they have a rubber seal in the lid, and they need a bit of pressure to take it off so it's a good seal. They're really study as well.

The Alpack ones are 10 for ~€16 which seems like a good price.
