pardon me...

But would anyone have a fermentation bucket I could borrow for about a month?

specifically: One 5-gallon food-grade plastic bucket with spigot, lid and airlock?

I am wanting to try to make hard cider for Halloween... and I would be pleased to share my hard cider with someone like the person who let's me share their fermentation bucket!

its possible, maybe, that i have a large multi gallon glass bottle used to make beer.....
if so it will need cleaning desperately... because it will have been abandoned in my basement for years
also its heavy... you are local are you not?

Spoke to my homebrewin' coworker... he says that once you use a fermenter for cider it's no longer any good for beer. The taste is overwhelming. You can use an old beer bucket for cider, but not the reverse. However, they're only about $15-20 complete at Barry's. Or he recommends you check out the HOPS mailing list for a local who's looking to get rid of one.
