Northern Brewer cubitainers

looks interesting - the 1 gallons are cheap enough to be disposable, and can be used for both fermenting and as a cask with the spigot

the 1 gallons are out of stock, when they come in I think I'll buy a couple - ferment 6 gallons of beer, keg 5, and put 1 gallon into one of these for cask dispense
On tap 1: Dry Irish
On tap 2: El Jefeweizen
On tap 3: Vienna
kegged: Rye Amber, Belgian Dark Strong, CYBI Mirror Pond, Irish Red, RIS
lagering: Vienna, Helles, Cream Ale, CAP

I picked up one of these Image at my local grocery store... its a 2 gallon Polycarbonate jug with a fairly large threaded "bung" on top, and a decent, easily removable spigot set about 1/2" off the bottom... I'm pretty sure it would hold cask-conditioned level pressures... I just need to brew a Mild or a Bitter to try it out.

I had one of those with that DME kit I tried a few years ago. It works but wasn't the best beer. Although I think that was more the ingredients and my n00bness than the container.
Pri: Community Nudity Ale, Magician Red Ale, Berliner Weisse
Bottled: Paxton's Tripel and Dubbel, 400 Rabbits Ale, Cap'n Crunch Amber Oat Ale
