Found these http://kegking.com.au/brewery-equipment ... arrel.html anyone know of a 50-70l one with the hold down and sealing lid? Wanna use them for fermenters...

Why not use a big blue plastic drum as a fermenter, like an old olive drum.
You could put an air lock on it.

Just an idea, unless you absolutely must have stainless.

Screw top but they work. Taps are detachable about an extra $30.

Found these guys, they have a range of sizes and shipping and tap is included.
Works out cheaper depending on what you buy.

Found out the 30l ones are welded but the 100l ones are folded press fit and may leak :crying-blue: so will keep looking really want at least 2x60l...May just get one of the keg king 97l brewery pots for now

Could always soft solder the seams your worried about.

I saw a 75 litre one on grays but have been unable to locate its origin.
The 100litre ones are commonly used for fermenting wines.
Leaking is not an issue but cleaning might be, especially if you want to use it for beer.
If it can hold oil it can hold other liquids.
