What should I build with this?

Someone gave me this thing that came out of an old washing machine. It's all stainless steel and is around 30 gallons. I need some cool ideas on what to make out of it. thanks

Well, crap I can't get my pic to display. I guess it's too big for the file type.

Resize it! Or use photobucket.

Here is the pic finally. I know it would work for something

You could use it to heat sparge/mash water I guess.

Jimmy hat... uncomfortable
Small boat.... maybe
Substitute for a brown paper bag.... tough sell

Good luck with that beast. I'm sure the minds around here can come up with something.

maybe i'll have a place make a lid for it and use it as a fermenter that i don't need

boil pot..................................

Find a snowy mountain, climb to the top, sit in it, push off, avoid trees and rocks.

if it is stianless.. don't throw it away. thats for sure. a use will come up.

boil pot for BIG beers that need extra time in the boil kettle. With all the surface area that thing has it might cut a half hour off of a 2 hour boil...

maybe i'll use it as a boil pot AND a sled

I'm picturing National Lampoon's Xmas Vacation...Make sure you spray that "special" lube on it!

OP, it honestly makes me think of some kind of centrifuge...but I'm pulling that outta my

Electric HLT or direct fired Mash tun...

Open fermenter!!!

Heat exchanger for herms or precooling water for your chiller.

Also looks great for holding your crushed grain before mash in.

fire pit

pulling it out of your, "dancing banana?"



but all are great ideas, thanks

Make a cool ship/aerator out of it for sours.

Stomp grapes in it, just be careful.

I tossed one of those in the compactors... I hate you for not making me read this post earlier. But I come across these every once in awhile so I am subscribing to this thread to see what mad scientist comes up with....

Find another one and put a gasket between the two for a conical of sorts. Kinda like the big Blingmann one. Clamps around the outskirts and you can use it for a group/big brew. 60 gallon capacity makes for an easy barrel and a half brew day!!!

Yeah, it kinda reminded me of the top off of a blichman
