Very Nice. I do not believe I have ever seen a S.S. barrel. Is that just the lid to a 5 gal bucket and it it used for a larger opening?

I took a 25 liter fermenter bucket and cut the top off of it, leaving a lip. Then I cut a circle in the top of the barrel and slid the fermenter bucket top into it. Then i used some small screws to attach it to the barrel and then siliconed around it to make it air tight. |

Well it is very cool. I will take some pictures tonight after work of our fermenter. We also built a reflux still and are using a S.S. milk can for the boiler. It holds 6 gallons, breaks down so it can be cleaned. Next time we set it up to run I'll post some pics of it too. I may have some on my phone I can post now come to think of it.

(comments by bigwheel and subsequent responses removed)
That was a legitimate question from a new member- one who has not been here long enough to be familiar with the past issues. You turned that into an opportunity to insult my moderator. I am done running around cleaning up offensive posts. Goodbye, bigwheel.

We will just have to see if the thread veers off. If so then we will start a new thread and move the off-topic stuff. Now that BW is gone I do not foresee threads going off-topic so much, so I think that these few posts will be alright. :)

Hi Bayou, are you going to be useing your Blichmann burner on that barrel or do you have something bigger?
I'm assuming this is for ethanol production and if you don't mind what recipee are you useing?
Thanks.
