Stainless Kitchen Sink Cool Ship?

[mo_feezy]

My landlord recently replaced out stainless kitchen sink. He left the old one here, and I thought it might be useful for something brewing related. Could this become a coolship for harvesting wild yeast? It's a double sink and is fairly small. I would think only about 5 gallons max would fill both sides.

Has anyone done something like this?

Any ideas for putting valves on the drain holes?

Not worth it, just scrap the sink?

I actually thought of doing this as well. I ultimately thought it would be too deep and scrapped the idea. Let me know if you do it and how it works for you!

I saw a video on Northern Brewer TV where a fish gutting station was used for a coolship...same basic idea I suppose.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I saw the episode you mentioned. Mine isn't quite as nice as his was, but I figure it's better than no coolship and was free. The only issue I have is that there is a small leak right where the drain assembly mounts, so i need to find a setup that will cover the leak.
