What have i got here?? is it of any use

Post by bramswell » Sat Jun 20, 2009 6:24 pm

I have been given this today and not quite sure what it is, the guy said it might be good for my brewing.
it has a plastic screw cap with a vent on top, a piece of the cap is broken, it looks like it could have been an air lock maybe.

looks like what the Americans and Aussies prefer to ferment their brews in.

when i first saw it i thought it was one of those bottle gardens... :lol:

it does look like a very large demijohn though
maybe i should test the strength and fill it with water
