Are you referring to a Rubbermaid Brute bucket? What size?The happy harvest dance continues!![]()
20 galon, Brute, yes. Gotta love Amazon Prime. I chose the 'cheap' shipping instead of the free two day Prime shipping. You get credits applied to your account when you do that. I still got it in two days.Are you referring to a Rubbermaid Brute bucket? What size?
It occurred to me that I actually needed 2 - not sure why I only ordered one.Awesome! You know I was just thinking I need at least 2 more 32 gallon Brutes before next Saturday. Amazon here I come!
But I can drive to the Home Depot that is 4 miles away from my work place and get it the same price, plus instant gratification.

Bill,Have any of you ever gotten a lid along with the bucket? Is a Brute lid of any real use for wine making?
I usually pick up the lid since it is included in the price. I figure if I get the sides all messed up and don't want to use it for wine making I actually use it for trash. Plus, it keeps most of the fruit flies out if you add something porous right where the "outcroppings" on the lid line up. I usually add a paper towel or two, I'm sure if the buggers want to get in they will, but a ferment at full tilt could care less about a few fruit files since the CO2 will create an environment that doesn't make for nice living conditions for the flies. Plus when you add the Kmeta it helps inhibit the bacteria that turn our wonderful elixir into high priced cooking vinegar.Have any of you ever gotten a lid along with the bucket?

I plan ahead. Like Mike said, $35 - that's more than the can and lid combined. I may do some harbor freight dollies at some point, but so far haven't felt a need for them.Here's a rookie question. Do you buy the wheels? Or plan ahead of time and leave it in 1 place.
My daughter just said she'd let me borrow some of her older dollies, so I just plan on using them... I may do some harbor freight dollies at some point, but so far haven't felt a need for them.
