Fermentation Barrel or bin?

[andy2912]

Right i have found some where to store brew whilst fermenting but it is in the boiler cupboard in my kitchen with very small ventilation hole ( 4 inch sq mesh covering)

But could i use a barrel like this to stop anything tainting my brew?
it does say beer and wine lol

I have a couple of these that I use for beer now and then - not as easy to clean as a bin ( which I normally use) , but does the job :thumb:

What's the temperature like in your boiler cupboard?

from 18c to 24c but will be getting a piece of carpet to put on shelf and some insulation to put on door and walls

24°C is a bit high, it's certainly right at the top end of the acceptable range, so I'd forget the insulation and leave the door ajar.
