Would these work?

They are stamped HDPE on the bottom. This would be for on-grain fermentation in the 14-15 gallon range. Drill a small hold for an airlock and mash away?

What say you all?

[jholmz]

theyre good for fermenters for something that size you might want more than the standard airlock theres a couple different homemade ones on here cant remember where theyre at but prariepiss had one

One I especially liked was made up of pvc fittings and a ping-pong ball . It's here but I couldn't tell anyone how to find it .

Go to search facility at top of page, insert ping pong ball in box and click to search. Bingo!

Oh heck, it's even easier than that! I typed PING in the search box, and got this...

I bought 4 55 gal hdpe barrels from a Super Suds car wash place for $20 (total for all 4!). They had soap in them. You might want to check out your local car wash places.

That's a great find at a great price and yes they will work great for fermenting!

you may want to check out the MSDS sheets on the soap.

I found it. How do I interpret this data, or rather, how do I figure out the best way to make the containers safely usable? link

I also wanted to use them as rain barrels.

[rad14701]

If it wasn't filled with "food grade" soap, if there is such a thing, then I wouldn't use it for fermenting... Pie filling is one thing but soap is yet another... A coolant water storage barrel, perhaps...

[F6Hawk]

I agree with Rad. If you want to know WHY this advice is being given, take your bottle of shampoo, wash/rinse it out as much as you want (I recommend many times). Allow t to dry completely, as in days. Once it is dry, fill it with M~n~Ms. Let it sit for 10 days, then open it and eat the candies.

I wouldn't use them. I have some car wash soap barrels I use as rain water barrels for the garden. Looked into the soap when I got them and its non-toxic sosupposedly ok to let just run off safely. but even after cleaning with bleach still smelled like the soap. I figure If the smell isn't gone the soap isn't completely.
