Storing bulk coconut oil (long-term)?

[Guest guest]

I just ordered a 5 gallon tub of coconut oil from Jungle Products. It comes in

a plastic

container, and even on their website they say the plastic is not recommended for

long-term

storage. Makes sense, of course.

I'd like to transfer it to a different type of container, but I'm not sure where

to find something

of that size. Stainless steel, glass or ceramic seem the obvious choice. But

most things I've

seen that are in the 5 gallon range do not have an airtight top (a stainless

steel stockpot

would be an example).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

You could store it in wide-mouth mason jars -- pint or quart size.

This is what I'm going to do with my giant 5-gallon tub. I think it's

easier to deal small jars than with than a big tub.

Carboys for beer brewing are glass and come in 5 gallon sizes.
