Would Not RecommendI bought these "food grade" buckets to store my wheat for making home made bread. I already had several of the true Gamma Seal lids. These buckets are slightly too large for the lids. They look like they should fit, but they don't. There's just a small buckle that will not fit and as much as I tried to make it work, neither me nor my husband could get it to work. I see there's an "Encore" screw on lid (Gamma seal equivalent) to go with this bucket at Lowe's but it's out of stock so I can't even...
Meets my needs
Would RecommendI like the thickness of the container. Perfect for long term storage and gardening.

Perfect for Primary Fermentation
Would RecommendThis nice, big, white food-grade bucket makes a perfect primary fermenter for wine, beer and mead making. All you need is a tight fitting lid, airlock, watch a few YouTube videos and you’re in business! So inexpensive and yet indispensable. Highly recommend.
A bucket’s bucket
Would RecommendWhen it comes to buckets, this was exactly what the doctor ordered. I felt it had really been designed as a bucket and when push came to shove it was a bucket. You can put stuff in it and it holds that stuff. It has a handle. It has an opening. This is cutting edge bucket technology. This might be the NASA of buckets.

It's a bucket!!
Would RecommendIt's a solid food grade bucket for holding food or really anything you could need. It'll hold about 25lb of grains, which is useful as a cost effective solution for bulk food storage or home brewing.
