5 gallon Home Depot buckets (Homers). They work very well for long term storage. We used to store boutique spirits at the distillery I worked at.

May I ask when you say long term, how long?

4

how do you make a Home Depot bucket “air tight” ?

Turkey bag tied. In a second turkey bag tied. In some sort of vessel. I use large plastic totes. They hold about 15lbs.

I’ve been using Grove bags for storing after drying. Has been working great.

i was thinking totes, but i was told the vessel has to be air tight?

thanks for the quick response

You press that lid down and it’s airtight. We’ve stored alcohol for years in them with zero loss. They’re food-safe and do a great job. We had a member who grew in Massachusetts and harvested 16 pounds of Sour Diesel. That’s what he used and worked great! Store in a cool or cold place so plant material/THC doesn’t degrade.

Air tight would be best if you have the option. I have been using the tote methods for years and have never got a complaint. :wink:

5 gallon food grade buckets with gamma seal lids.
I cured the bud in 1/4# grove backs about 3-4 weeks. Then loaded them into 5 gallon buckets and tossed in a couple 67g humidity packs and sealed them up.
