I'm wanting a couple of buckets for bottling and honey storage. I'd like them to use the same lids as standard 5 gallon buckets as I also want to use gamma lids if I can. I'd like them to be at least 6 gallons. Anyone know of an online source?

Thanks much!

Pool chlorine comes in six gallon buckets. Find all the pool owners and take their chlorine buckets.

I know that would be cheaper...but I'm looking for new as I want no chance of any residues in my honey.

What could be better than a new flavor of honey? Chlorine honey! Enjoy honey while feeling like you're at a swimming pool. Other thing to consider is that the chlorine may not come in "food grade" plastic buckets.

I use these for brewing and honey storage and I'm quite happy with them. 6.5 to 7.9 gallons I believe.

Look to U S Plastics @ usplastics.com All kinds of storage containers, buckets, Rubbermaid® products, tubing, etc. Great company to deal with.

Honeyville Food Products.

They have 6 gallon food grade buckets with lids that fit standard 5 gallon buckets.

The web site shows a five gallon bucket but I know for a fact they sell 6 gallon at their retail store in Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. Call them and see what they can do. They are also an excellent source for emergency food supplies.

Just about any brewing supply shop would have 6 or larger gallon buckets and they all would be food grade plastic.
