I bought 2...had to stop myself buying more... ;D I plan to use them for oaking, fill with 1500/1750ml then that gives me two bottles.

Slip it off?
A large reused gherkin jar works for me.
Why buy empty?

Soaking a couple of days usually sorts vinegar smell. How big is your nuke-alator? Do you pickle whole cucumbers? Does Aunt Aggie make you proper cow pie with horns on the top?
