[MKOB] Crocks

[Marshall Williams]

Joey:  Crocks were used a long time as fermenters for both beer and 
wine, as well as a wide variety of other foods (think Tabasco.)  If they 
are in good shape, and you can keep wild yeast out, they should work 
fine.  You might be able to find a food grade cork somewhere online that 
will fit the 15 gallon crock.  I would guess that moving a full ceramic 
crock would be no fun at all.
