SS 55 Gal Drum for boil kettle?

[4arrows]

Howdy there all.

I am looking to upgrade my existing system into something a little more volume and consistency. I was wondering if anyone has used a Stainless Steel 55 Gallon Drum as a mash tun/boil kettle.

Or, if those more experienced in this group might know some inherent issues with using one for those purposes.

Any help is appreciated.

I've built at least 20 brewing vessels out of used SS barrels. No problems.

Awesome, any tips or tricks I should know up front?
