I was looking at experimenting with fermentation techniques, and I began wondering about fermenting in flat, open (kind of) containers.
Anchor Brewing Co. successfully ferments their Anchor Steam beer this way. So, it got me wondering:
Has anyone here tried fermenting beer in flat, stainless steel pans? A 24"x12"x6" pan could hold 7.5 gallons of wort, filled to the top. Leaving an inch or two for krausen, it could still hold over 6 gallons. You could even cover it with cheese cloth to keep bugs out.
Has anyone tried this before? If not, I'd be interested in giving it a go and see what the results are.
