      Great find

        I got a 18 litre, office type water bottle last night for free, and the bung from the better bottle fits on perfect

          I have 22-1 gallon glass jugs (mostly imperial, a few US)
          3-5 gallon water bottles (2 take a 10.5 and 1 takes a 10 bung)
          2-3 gallon water bottles (supposedly, never got 3 gallons out of them)
          for primaries I have 3-3 gallon ice cream pails and a 25 gallon crock (that's a heavy one)

          I like my water bottles. I don't think I could lift a full glass dj of the larger size. I've no plans at the present on buying a pump, but nothing is out of the question.

            Seeing as I will be wandering thru the US occasionally once baseball season starts...where do you find Imperial gallon jugs? Here in Canada, they are pretty much all US gallon sized.

            Thanks, Steve

              It use to be you could buy the "cheap" wine in the Imp gal. jugs. Now a days it isn't cheap and they have converted to the US gallon. I guess you can judge that I've been doing this awhile. Once in a great while, I spot one at a garage sale.
