brining containers

I went a similar route. Go to your local deli and ask them for an empty pickle pail. They'll usually give 'em up for free.

The deli is a great idea I work at a dairy Milk products I have worked at 4 one in Alaska,Colorado,Arizona, and now live in Alabama anyway

at each dairy we maid Juice, punch, Ect the base comes in 5gallon buckets. Most places throw them away because at the one i work at now

we go through 50 to 60 a week i at this time have 65 clean buckets with lids on my back deck.

If any one here is in Alabama let me know i get enought to share!!!!

My family owns an ice cream parlour. I use one of the plastic tubs they put the ice cream in after making it. It holds about 4 gallons of brine. I have it marked " Brine only" so that it does not get used for anything else.

Just discovered that Lowes has 5 gallon food grade buckes with lids for like 6 bucks.  In the paint or water cooler section
