10 gallon Boiler Buckets no longer available

HELP

Im trying to get a 10 gallon boiler bucket but H&G say there supplier has reduced wall thickness 30% to unacceptable levels. and supply could be phased out.

Youngs say try the catering supply trade...

That's a great shame... those buckets make great boilers.

It would be very useful to locate a suitable polypropylene alternative.

A quick google found these suppliers;

http://www.cjk.co.uk/Brewing-Buckets-&-Container-1.php

http://www.waterbuttsnbottles.co.uk/BUC ... /c-11-113/

however, I couldnt see any that were 60 litres also couldnt find details on thickness of the wall. They are PP and should be stable to 150C ish. Might be worth a call to see if they sell in 1s and 2s and maybe they can find a 60l version.

I hope something gets sorted out, I'm just about to buy my AG gear and i'm not upto par on building it

[likesbeer]

As Chris said other home brew shops sell them, www.leylandhomebrew.com also do there own version of the AG kit (I think its on their website and doesnt say out of stock) give them a try

I looked at those which Chris posted, nothing could be found (could well just be me!)
Although on Leyland, i see they do 60 Litre bins with dual element for £90. These as good as the ones H&G Supply? Might get one of these, then the mash tun from H&G.

I didn't say they were on the website

try one of these



although may have been snapped up by now.

Where does the hop strainer go in that?

[Benson_JV]

Oh okay sorry Chris, my bad, i blame exams, making me tired and what not
I might just try one of those 60 litre boilers from Leyland.

OK. Morons who can't manage their mother tongue and think there's something clever about being thick.

Was hoping this topic would lead to some alternatives to the H&G 10 gallon bucket being brought up.

I want to start building my boiler next month!

Are there any smaller options? 6-7 gallons?

As Chris says, there are still some 60 litre PP buckets out there in homebrew shop land, but I guess stock of the old buckets will be running out.

I just got one myself from Farnborough Home Brew, excellent shop with great service.
