So, here I am at work (a propane cylinder factory, I'm a metallurgy intern) and I'm taking some readings on a heat treat oven when an idea hits me... I thought, "You know, these 33.5# cylinders would make great brew pots / MLT's." I'm going to talk to some people here to see if I can't get one of our scrapped pieces to mess with, but I thought I'd bounce it off of you all.
What would the concerns be with doing this? I'd obviously clean out the interior very well, then just lop the top off (plasma torches FTW!), round the edges, and brew away. It's aluminum, it's pretty darn sturdy, and it should be a good fit for a false bottom kit.
To note, there is no propane inside, nor has there ever been. This would be a factory reject.
Thanks,
Mark
