I have a used HDPE 15 gallon barrel that had contained soy sauce. Could I add a hot water tank heating element to it to create an electric hot liqour tank for my sparging?
I think you could, the only thing I don't know is how hot the base of the element gets. I would be worried it could get hot enough to melt the plastic. My other concern is that the soy sauce flavor/smell has sank into the plastic and might be nearly impossible to remove from the barrel. No matter what you do good luck
