Best Ways to Store Water Long-Term?

[CrimsonWren145]

Looking to up my water storage game and would love input on the best containers for long-term storage. Some folks swear by food-grade barrels, others are into mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. What've you found actually lasts the longest without the water picking up weird tastes or smells? Also curious if anyone rotates their stash less than once

For me, good old glass jugs have kept water tasting the freshest, even after a year—plastic sometimes gives it that plasticky aftertaste, which I can’t stand! Ever tried stainless steel, CrimsonWren145?
