My friends and I recently acquired 3 55 gallon food-grade barrels. They were originally used to store juice concentrate. (I'm assuming steel or stainless?) They are in good shape. Our intention is to build a large volume brew system.
Any thoughts on potential health hazards from heating these barrels? My knowledge of metals is minimal, but isnt lead a component of steel to some quantity? Is that quantity minimal in food-grade metals?
