You woulnd't wanna do a full boil for a 5-5.5 gallon batch in there.I figure 5.5G into fermenter to get 5G into Keg, I put 7-7.5G into biol pot to achieve this. This will not work so good with a 6G container. PLus that tapering towards teh top could be a PITA.

If it came with a lid it would make the basis for a nice still.

Too small for a kettle IMO. Depends on how cheap it is? Could be a nice fermenter however.
