Thanks for that Benoit. A couple of shiny new taps are now winging their way from Malaysia to Sussex now :)

And a 5% discount for buying 2 was a nice mini surprise. 50p is 50p after all!

Ah you see, I didn't think about that, just jumped in feet first as usual!

Can let you know if it fits when it eventually turns up

I think you're safe, the link was copied over from this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3292&start=30

Maybe Toper can confirm if / when he sees this?

I just bought four of these screw top 45 litre drums. Food grade HDPE. I have some of the bigger 120 litre versions, but you don't see those very often.

EDit oops forgot the picture!!!

I think these are a good deal at £6.00 each. I got four sent out by courier for £52.80.

If you can pick them up because you are local it would be a real bargain.

http://www.smithsofthedean.co.uk/ are a great source for fermenters, water buts etc.

Thank you seagull for the tip off, picked up an 8 litre square kilner dispenser this afternoon. The lid is slightly larger than a standard clip top so the replacement silicone seal was a bit of a stretch but it went on & still seals tight. Am well chuffed with it, now to decide what to fill it with?! I'm torn between a big batch of cachaça or whether I can generate enough sugar from 10kg of peated malt & age that in there?
First things first, a new tap

Sounds like it'd be worth the 300 mile trip. Train might be the best option tho!!

Takes me 5 hours to get to West Yorkshire for my annual wine grapes pilgrimage, or same to Lancaster to visit erindoors rellies, and it's another hour to the bottom of Cumbria......

But even the natives are friendly, not just your fellow campers :)

Hey, the Romans tried to push on a few hundred miles further North, and they didn't even have cars and stuff, and started in Italy ;D
