If you haven’t ordered yet I use these in the link below and if you’re ordering more than one then it’s cheaper than Amazon with the delivery. It’s a 2 day delivery for me so it’s fast enough.

Delivery is about £7 including the vat when I order two it works out just under £60 for both. They fit a 25kg bag in but obviously volume is grain dependant. Wheat leaves loads of space at the top but torrified flaked oats fills it absolutely to the brim. I used to store bags of speciality malt in the headspace of the drums that had pilsner, wheat and pale in as there was a decent amount of space. If you ordered a 25kg bag of rice hulls it would need about 6-8 barrels 😂
 
PenYCae. I emailed them as no answer by phone..if they got some I'll arrange a collection some time this week. They have 2 blue 60 litre drums listed..one says "ex food use" the other just HDPE.

I'm thinking of buying a 25kg sack of crushed grain....but am unsure of which barrel size is sufficient for this. Anyone who stores grain - would a 30l barrel do the job? I've seen one site stating it can hold upto 55kg of solid material. I'd like to double check this first before purchasing one. Thanks.

I use 50L blue barrels, they fit 25Kg perfectly. I also have 60L to keep any smaller bags of black, chocolate etc. the 50L stack well 3 high even 4 at a push
