So I can get an expensive starter kit from Makro or I can wait until things settle a bit and some more of the supply shops open. Decided to do a hodgepodge type thing in the interim. I have a lot of thin tubing so can easily make a diy airlock and already have a 23L pot and a digital thermometer, so in theory all I need is a large fermenter in order to get started.
I see at Makro they have the 25L Big Jim water dispensers for fairly cheap. Would one of these work? Since it is a water dispenser I would assume it is food-grade plastic.

I am not overly worried about the ABV on the first couple of batches so feel that a hydrometer is not needed for now. Will use this setup as a temporary stopgap measure until things settle down to level 3 and couriers are fully functional again and I can then hopefully get a proper starter kit to go on from there.
Was thinking of making this kit to start with - Mangrove Jacks classic Dutch lager

All advice appreciated
