1. A method of handling and dispensing fluid, the method comprising:
dispensing fluid into an inner container;
inserting the inner container into an outer chamber of an outer container;
dispensing a coolant into the outer chamber of the outer container, wherein the coolant in the outer chamber is configured to cool the fluid;
coupling an outer container coupler of the outer container to a first coupler of a connector such that the connector defines a gap between the inner container and the outer container, wherein the first coupler comprises outward-facing threads configured to engage inward-facing threads of the outer container coupler;
coupling a second coupler of the connector to a lid coupler of a lid, wherein the lid coupler has a same thread pitch and a same diameter as the inward-facing threads of the outer container coupler of the outer container;
cooling the fluid to a chilled storage temperature; and
dispensing the fluid out of the inner chamber.
