Do you mean a pressure cooker? How big is it?

I think the big question is what will happen if you use metal as a primary? I can't recall anyone recommending metalic primaries.....

I have a nice pressure cooker that I use to make soups and chile and stuff like that. It crossed my mind whether it would be a way of efficiently extracting the flavor from the grain bag (instead of just seeping in hot water), but then I pretty quickly realized that I'd be extracting all kinds of stuff that I didn't want in my beer (tanins and stuff like that). So, dumb idea, but at least it never got past the "I wonder...." stage.
The other thing is that all the pressue cookers / pressure pans / whatever I have seen are pretty small, certainly no more than a couple gallons (I'm guessing mine may be a gallon and a half, and it's about as big as I've seen).
So, baker's yeast (from your other thread) plus a pressure pan as a fermenter... I'm guessing that's going to be a pretty, uh, interesting brew...

Drinking beer fermented in iron or regular steel pots (and most pressure cookers I've seen are plain steel or cast iron) is likely to cause Hemachromatosis (excess iron in your blood). My body could probably deal with it, as I have a problem absorbing iron. If you donate blood regularly, this might be the way to go.
