Default 20 gal Rubbermaid Brute primary

Your post has provoked quite a discussion not only here but also in
rec.crafts.winemaking.

It seems that your choice of primaries is a good one, despite some
concerns raised in this thread. The material it is made from is food
grade, and gets high marks for alcohol resistance. The only caveat I
could find was in the FAQ; it seems that it is oxygen permeable, but as
I'm sure you've realized, for a primary this isn't a bad thing.

I have no experience "breaking in" new primaries, however, I would
think that it might be a good idea to leave it sit for a few days full
of water.

Just my 2 cents.
