Cranking the handle tilts the bowl and it work real easy too. Nice.
You can see the pipe where steam runs through the bottom of the pot.
It cleaned up well too. I still need to use a cleaning pad to shine it up .
It sure helps to have some friends hey. Anyone think of a use ,chime right in..Please!
That thing is huge!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat thing is awesome. My jaw dropped.
ReplyDeleteThere are a number of brewing applications that you could use it for, but they would all require modifications. The best use I think in brewing would be for the mash, as it tips, which would be great for cleanup (getting the 100 pounds of wet grain it would hold). The size is so big though. Legally, a person is allowed to make 200 gallons of home brew per year, but you'd only get 5 batches out of that thing, and you'd need another 40 gallon container to boil in.
If you can get your hands on 3 like that, but 300 gallons apiece, we can start a real live brewery, and quit messing around with this 5 gallon home brew noise. I'll do the brewing, my dad can do the sales, and you can be chief brewery tinkerer. We can get Shell to donate Ben to clean things when he's big enough. You know, to help build character. :)
Ok, you can have Ben! We're in !!!
ReplyDeleteOkay Kev I'll be the tinkerer AND cheif taster . I am thinking how to heat this thing. I would have to build a steam generator to pass steam through as it is set up for(double bottom). How about wine making?
ReplyDeleteMy friend that gave me this says that there may be more. He also says that there is a five foot tall electric mixer with attachments. Lets see a hundred pounds of flour,80 eggs,5 gallons milk,15 cups of honey and wow I need a bigger oven!
Well, I think it would make a good Jacuzzi for Ben. Just add water, get the steam going, add an attachment to make the water bubble (or give Ben some beans).
ReplyDeleteor, let Ginny stomp some grapes in it, ya know put on some of that grape music, heck I might come join her.
