Containers for making cider

Hi

Thinking of trying cider making sometime next season. For fermenting containers, I can get used 12 litre water cooler bottles: they are clear, food grade PET (BPA free). Any issues with using these? They have no caps but I could get stoppers to fit.

I think they should be fine.

Yeah, they'd be fine to ferment in. You'd need to rig up some for of airlock for them (a piece of hose into a bucket of water would do the trick).
