More Info

White pail is food-safe and non-toxic

Excellent option for food storage and emergency kits when used with the gasket lids

Possible uses: Convert for use as a fermenter (does not include lids), as a bottling bucket, for grain storage and around the brewery cleaning and storage. A note about grain storage capacity: My estimate for storage of unmilled malt is 5 lbs per gallon. At that rate, a 5 gallon bucket holds about 25 lbs. That’s a rough estimate. Actual storage capacity will vary.

5 Gallon Heavy Duty, FOOD GRADE Bucket AND Lid [about 25 lb grain storage capacity]

5-GALLON WHITE ALL PURPOSE Durable Commercial Food Grade Bucket With LID

Note from HBF: Possible homebrew applications… Use as a fermenter or bottling bucket or use for grain storage. If you’re looking to convert to a fermenter, search Amazon for food grade airlock grommets. If you’re wanting to use these for grain storage, my estimate is 5 lbs per gallon. At that rate, a 5 gallon bucket holds about 25 lbs of grain. Grab two if you’re looking for enough room to store a full 50 lb sack. This is an estimate.

Homebrew Storage Options! – Base Grain, Specialty Grain and DME

When it comes to storing grain and DME, we’re concerned about keeping ingredients fresh minimizing oxygen and moisture exposure. We’re also interest in keeping Grain and DME away from possible pests.

Grain Storage Capacity Estimations

My rule of thumb for grain storage capacity is about 5 lbs per gallon for unmilled malt storage. That’s a rough estimate, actual storage capacity will vary. A 5 gallon bucket holds about 25 lbs Two buckets = a 50 lb bag. Two 6 gallon buckets would comfortably hold a 55 lb bag.
