You want a container that is no more than 3/4 full, to avoid “boilover” if you have an especially vigorous fermentation. The orange buckets that Home Depot sells are 5 gallon, which will be sufficient for a small batch. Last I knew those buckets are food grade.

I use Rubbermaid Brutes (20 and 32 gallon) for large batches, although that’s overkill for your current needs.

I have a plum tree in at the house we just bought and was able to get 8 pounds of plums before the birds attacked them. I was wondering what size containers I would need. This would be my first attempt at making wine.
