Storage

[wrushton]

What the best way to store in a bulk container the finish product , you use plastic or ss ? if you put a batch in say today , it will be cold left in there .should the new batch be cool down before putting in or do it matter. that I am tring to say adding a cold and a warm batch together will it cause mold?

Unless it will be frozen it needs to go into a sealed container above 180 degrees. I prefer ss

[jgrenier]

the container must be filled all at once with syrup at 180+degrees and sealed while still hot

I am looking at storing in 5 gallon units I think. This is about what I would bottle at a time. Would food grade jugs be ok, or should I bite the bullet and order some ss barrels?? This will be my first year bulk storing, and would like the option of wholesaling, or bottling for retail through the year. If I used plastic, do I need to purchase new caps every time I reuse the jug?
