Ditto to Justin's question...

1,000L is a bit too much, and the 20-25L containers are getting to be a pain...

anybody know where some food grade barrels, 100-200L etc can be found???

you can also buy them from places like "reflex" plastics (there's one near us proteus) but they are very expensive ($100+)

Yeah, I have checked out the ones Reflex have up on The Boulevarde, but too expensive when as you say they do come up from time to time a heck of a lot cheaper...

And just for us Melburnions, There is a company called Ideal Drums in Cheltnam, They are actually in Bayside?? but when i rang the phone directory she gave me cheltnam. But yeah they melt them down so i dont think you would be paying more then $20 for them, i did them a favour and got one for free so i dont think they would be asking too much for them if they can afford to give me one for free..
