I tried to collect some this week but local trader was on holiday. The outlet is quite large, but loads of fittings are available cheaply, including the popular Hoselock type. They can be stacked when full as they have a galvanized steel frame, so gravity can be used for distribution.

I currently have 2750l stored, but intend to add another 10,000l by winter.

Jeez Steve, You'll be able to float your own Arc in all that!

IBCs are what I've ordered for main storage too. I am mounting them in an elevated positin with in one of the barns. Hopefully that'll give us good gravity feed and also keep them away from light and external temeratures.

I'd also like to know about how you've fared re freezing

BTW, The link above was found as I have been searching for a certain type of coffin tank in which to store filtered potable water in the main house attic. Their prices seem pretty keen.
