55 gal blueprints

[chrisbragg21]

hi there, i just got my hands on some 55 gal ss drums, was wondering if anyone there has built HLT/ MASH/ boil kettle. that could help me with the blueprints/ sizing/ location? on all the different holes that are needed to puncture the drum that work the best. i rather copy someone thats has maked it work, than start playing with it myself looking for the best results.

thanks

Have you gone ahead with this? I have a friend who can get food safe 55 gallon drums and is encouraging me to do more than 5 gallon batches. The issue I see is getting and keeping a boil.
