Apparently the glycerine is a food safe product (byproduct of making bio diesel?) so with a good rinsing it should be suitable to store RO/DI water as well.

Your local on premises beer making outlets will also have large food grade 45 gal drums, however the one I frequent in Vernon wants $45 or more per barrel, so the glycerine drums were a steal.
Thanks for the tips!
