I did that batch in a 54 litre demijohn. There was so much! You can be sure I tried ice distilling some of it, but it was such a lot of work. Tasty though.
I like my glass demijohns but the volume of some of the plastic ones is kinda tempting sometimes. There was a guy on reddit that used a 100L water butt for fermenting in
I had to give away my prized glass when I moved from the states to the UK, I miss them. Definitely going to get more when I can finally put down roots. Plastic is certainly doable, it just isn't as pleasing.
Ahh shame to lose glass. Currently got 5x5L glass demijohns. Should probably start another mead soon, might be worth getting more bottles sometime too. Its odd, buying 20 cans seems normal, but buying 20 (more) bottles feels excessive.
I don't NEED more, but it would mean that the mead can age for longer by rotating through a larger volume.
It's true about buying bottles in volume. I eventually just ordered boxes of bottled beer from Ocado to avoid having to haul them home myself.
