New ebiab kettle

[badgerfan79]

Growing up on an former dairy farm, we have 3 or 4 of these stainless milking buckets laying around. My question is would this be able to be turned into an eBiab kettle? Would the taper up to the lid be an issue?View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1476979884.985632.jpg

The taper would make pulling the bag much more difficult.

Brew on

What's the volume of the buckets? If there were tops to them I think about fermenters.

I wouldn't use them,Lifting the bag would be an issue. Concord pots are cheap enough not to bother with the possible headaches

Never thought of using them as fermenters. Maybe with a bit of modification I would have a few nice conical fermenters.
