Hi,
At first I bought a 5 gallon food grade plastic pail, and used that for my 1
gallon recipes. Then I started looking around for a 2 gallon container which
I could leave on my counter. It was pricey, but I found a 2 gallon glass
cylinder container with a top at Walmart for about $13. I really like it for
fermenting my fruit wines in - there's just enough room for that bag of
fruit and a little extra top-up. I use it all the time now, and it is easy
to siphon from - so for me it works out well.
