Poly Drums for long term storage

Sep 23, 2005 0 Replies

Is anyone using Poly Drums for long term storage? If so, have you noticed any problems/benefits?



I know that plastic can "breathe", but the walls of a poly drum seem pretty thick, and the container holds pressure well...so it doesn't seem that there would be any more oxygen entering the container than in a barrel, assuming there isn't any headspace or that the headspace doesn't contain oxygen.



I've got more wine than my usual containers can handle, but I use poly drums for fermentation, so I thought these might do the trick.



Thanks, -David Denver, CO USA
