We recommend keeping several of each item on hand as a backup and you may even find some of these items already in your kitchen.

- Plastic Gallon Jugs These heavy-duty plastic gallon jugs are great for storing simple syrup, ready-to-use syrups (RTU), flavor concentrates, or even cleaning solutions (just be sure to keep your cleaning solutions away from your syrups, you don't want any mix-ups). Gallon caps are available.
