Buying second primary fermenter

Can anyone give me advice on the best place to buy a primary fermenter in Fredericton (looking to run two batches at once)?

I know Noble grape has a location there, it's probably your best bet if you're looking for a food grade bucket.

get some corny kegs, you'll end buying 'em anyways, so switch early and save the cash

they make great primary/secondary fermenters, store easily and you can fit a lot more into a keezer!

they're better as secondaries because they are only 19 litres max. blow off would suck.

I've stopped using a blow off all together. keeping the primary under pressure (less than 10psi) basically eliminates krausen. just a matter of remembering to vent them once/twice a day. plus cleaning the kegs is way easier afterwards. another good point for kegs is that you can crash cool fast, more heat conducting surface area to rapidly chill them.

Scoop n Save, Wine Kitz, Co-op, and Noble grape all have buckets. not 100 percent sure on Co-op though..

Thanks for the advice (BTW, not sure what a corny keg is) but the list of stores is a help.

It's a pepsi or coke keg that homebrewers use to keg their beer.

Isnt there a local source in hrm for cornies at 25 a piece.. I am looking to add 4 to use as fermenters.

The Co-op here in Charlottetown sells primaries for $11.99 for the bucket and $2.99 for the lid. I would check the one in Fredericton.

That shipment of cornies was cleared out a while back. Not sure if there's anymore coming down the line or not.
