Yer, I'm leaning this way, too. I'd also chuck on a roll of 2 of Gaffa Tape to support the walls, could even use this opportunity to insulate the FV!

Leak-proof, supported AND insulated!

Shit just got real!

Heres to another 8 years!

Have seen plastic begs used in fermenter no need to clean not sure where can buy correct bags.
Have had old fermenter develop a crack in the bottom not good if have expensive brew in it was lucky to have a clean fermenter near that could pour into before losing too much .
