So its really a 35-40 gallon cooker. The bottom half is jacketed. I hook up the garden hose and put hot mash in it and can run cold water through it and cool it down to proper temps for pitching yeast. GO TEAM!

:lol: Good one.

I've been trying to figure out a way to keep it at a constant 77 deg.
Maybe running water through it with a recirculating pump or something to that effect.
Right now its in my garage and the temps this next week are going to be in the low 90's.
The last couple weeks i've made a couple batches and the temp was fine, i'm afraid later this summer it will get to hot.

This is a steam heated marmita (boiler) if I'm not wrong, you could use it for many stuff if you have a steam generator.
