bottling in 5 gallon buckets

[milligkl]

Hello, I have heard of some people bottling syrup into 5 gallon food grade buckets for customers. How does this work with sealing them, where do you purchase them, and how much do they cost? Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

any bottling company sells them. make sure they are food grade and new. heat to 175+ fill and pound the lid on. seals when it cools

I just bought a bunch of buckets for collecting but they are rated for food storage and heat.
I ordered them from Uline. To save on shipping I looked around for a store that purchased from them then when they placed an order they added on my buckets. Jay
