floyd, it's a 33 ltr fermentation bin, sold by Leyland homebrew shop. Fitted to cheapo Asda elements and it has been great. Bin cost about £13 a year ago, with black tap and holes cut for 2 elements. There was one on ebay last week with proper kettle elements buy it now £30. Think it might have finished now though.
