Lobster Brew Pot

[desiderata]

Just wondering if anyone else uses a lobster pot to brew in like me. That is the largest pot my SWMBO and I have (I'm not about to fork over the money for a brew pot, since this works). Of course, it took a lot of cleaning to get the seafood smell out of it in order to brew, but my beer tastes fine--even though it is still green (oops!).
Could make for a clever name for my brew as well. Any suggestions are welcome!
The folks-in-law just visited from Maine, we cooked 15 lobsters in it, so now i have some more cleaning to do.
anyway, I plan to continue using it, just wondering if anyone else uses one?

Is there a difference between a lobster brewpot and a regular stockpot that's boiled lobster? I think as long as the seafood smell is gone completely before you brew I really don't see a problem with using it.

I think your good. Can you send your in-laws my way with 15 lobsters? I'd be happy to boil them up in my brewpot and then clean it...very happy!

My brewpot is just that, my brewpot. However I do use some of my pots that I use to heat mash water to boil lobster and snow crab. This year I have been lucky enough to score crab in abundance http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nflder/morepics032.jpg and http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nflder/morepics033.jpg yummmmm.

i call it a lobster brew pot because that's what the SWMBO purchased it for a few years ago, and that's all we've used it for--until now. It's not stainless steel like i see all the other brew pots created specifically for brewing. The bottom has ridges, so it makes stirring the bottom a little harder, so i have to be careful about scorching. But it works.
And, exo you're right, cleaning it is a small price to pay for a delicious meal... (I drank one of my beers with the lobster dinner).
I just noticed that I should have placed this thread under the "equipment" forum.
cheers!
