[Sca-cooks] Brining Vessels

[Martha Oser]

Any 5-gallon vessel will generally do the trick. 

I've used a "Homer Bucket" purchased from Home Depot, a well-washed and 
rinsed empty laundry detergent container and a plasic brining bucket with a 
lid, bought especially for the purpose by my parents. 

Alton Brown on TV has used one of those upright (usually yellow) drink 
coolers with a spout at the bottom - makes it easy to drain out the brine 
when you're ready.  I think I've also seen him use a standard rectangular 
cooler too. 

You could also use a pickle bucket from a restaurant if you can get one or a 
brewing bucket as well. 

Best,
