Hello All
Our small brewpub is in an urban area and we have no room for a dumpster for spent grain. We will be giving away all of our spent grain to some local farmers, as is common practice. I'm thinking of using Dixie plastic 55 gal. drums for storage. Open-top w/ the seal-able lids. These drums may have to be stored inside for up to 2 days if I can't fit them in the alley behind the building. I'm hoping the lids seal well! I'd considered Brute drums but the lids are not secure enough for me. Plus, they're expensive.
Anyone using these Dixie food-grade drums for spent grain? Any other suggestions? 2 x 7 BBL batches per week should be 6-8 drums - any suggestions are welcome. Note that they have to fit through a standard 36" door and will need to moved around with a hand truck.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions from fellow urban brewers.
