Once empty, I noticed it had a really good tight fitting lid, and was marked as food safe polypropylene. Hmmm, thinks me - I bet that has around 8 or so litres volume, would make a good fermentation bucket!
So, I 'claimed' it. Filling it one litre at a time with water, and marking it off, it turns out it holds 12L when filled right to the top.
I also noted a small, slightly thicker spot on the lid, perhaps something to do with the molding machine. Using a tapered drill bit, and a spare airlock as a gauge, I drilled a hole here until the airlock 'almost' fit, then proceeded to cut one turn at a time, until the airlock would push in snugly.
Hey Presto! A 12L fermentation bucket absolutely free! Just in time to put on a gallon of Turbo Cider this week!
