How did the build turn out? Do you have any pictures of the set up? What are the dimensions of the pan that you got? I am interested in doing this and also am in an urban area. YOur idea sounds like it will work for me.

I don't know how his turned out, but I'll tell ya you can use pretty much anything to catch yeast. Bigger is always better, but even a mason jar can work.
to make a "Wild Starter" ?

Almost been a year now. About to rack to secondary. Ka-boom.
As an alternative to Stainless Steel, there are food grade tote bins readily available.

There are also steam table trays, larger then 8.5 gallons can get a bit pricey though.

Has anyone tried a coolship similar to the one they used in brew dogs? A wooden barrel cut in half. Could be a fun way to see what wild stuff you get.

if you did that, you'd be getting whats in the barrel, not in the air. maybe the first time if the barrel was sanitized or fresh, but after that it would be the same yeast over and over. which could be great (think cantillon barrels)... however if you're truly trying to get whats in the air, copper or stainless would be preferred.
