Hi guys. My gourmet food supplier marinates his own olives and gets heaps of barrels. Asked if I could have one. "How many" he said :D one of my chefs couldn't resist.

Also mods premision was given to post pic hope that ok :handgestures-thumbupleft:

"I grant you three wishes" said the Genie


1st wish :" I hope it doesn't smell of marinated Olives"

2nd wish :" I hope it doesn't smell of marinated Olives"

3rd wish :" I hope it doesn't smell of marinated Olives"

He gets the olives unmarninated in the drum then takes them out and marinates :handgestures-thumbupleft: nothing a soak in nappysan wouldn't fix :D still its a 220lt drum :D

Good score :happy-partydance:

You are one of the luckiest blokes in this forum I reckon. Free kegs from a scrappy that took your fridge away, found free wheels for your boiler just lying around, got your boiler welded up for free, and now free drums. ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^

Need to go give some of that luck to Crow :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Good score :handgestures-thumbupleft:

:laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: yep lady luck is with me. Crow just sent you some good luck thoughts :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Saw 2 stall holders selling the exact same olive barrels at the Thomastown Market (northern suburbs of Melbourne) weekend before last. Was quoted 25 bucks for the 220L version, quickly dropped to 20 when I didn't seem keen. Ended up buying an 80L barrel for 15 bucks which I thought was a good deal (the stallholder stated that the 80L jobs move well but no one seemed to be keen on the 220L versions- too heavy when full maybe?) Anyway gave it a bit of a clean but the olive smell was still pretty strong. Was thinking it might be a good base spirit for vodka martinis but to be honest I've never been a big fan of Bond movies. Left it out in the sun lid off for a few days and now not a hint of olive. Anyway, going back for another one this weekend.

If you gave it a good clean, thats all thats needed mate, it'll go away.

Even if it doesn't your wash won't smell/taste like whatever was in the drum :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Too many purists out there wasting time and energy for little to no reason IMO :teasing-blah:
