ss drums

[wood burner]

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase smaller drums? 5 to 15 gal. I don't make syrup 30 to 40 gal. a boil. I'm doubtful it would seal very well if it took three boils to fill a large barrel. Any ideas?

Do you really need SS. I used 5 gallon screw cap containers because they are easy to use. Large SS tanks tend to last longer because they dont get knocked around like smaller 5-10 gal units. Take a 5 gal SS can and drop it or slam it up onto a reheater to fill it and its all dented to heck. Plus they are so dang good looking its easy for them to walk away.

To bad you weren't closer I have about 20 of the the SS 15 gallon Dr. pepper barrels I would be willing to sell as I use bigger barrels now.

how much do you want for a barrell. UPS shipping is not bad if they do not dent them.

i use beer kegs for smaller batches. they are s/s and hold 15gal. usually can get them at scrap yards for around $30

most any soda bottler will sell you surplus 5 gal korney kegs for $15-25

Thanks for the input. I see I'm not the only one looking for smaller ss

If someone wanted all 20 I would take $80 apiece. If you want to pick a few out it would be $90. Bruce Bascom had some this spring for $115. These are a very heavy Barrel (Around 30 lb. )with steel rings top and bottom to protect them when handling.
