milk pail boiler
Anyone here ever used or considered a stainless steel milk pail for a boiler? The ones I'm talking about were used to collect the milk when using the old vacuum cup milking machines. A neighbor gave me two Christmas day. They are of high grade stainless steel, they measure 12 1/4 inches in diameter at the bottom, 14 inches tall and have a 6 3/4 inch opening at the top. They hold 4 gals. up to where the taper starts at and 5 gal. 3 quarts when filled to the top. He didn't have the tops for them but I remember how they are made, they sealed with a "O" ring and have two fittings. These sure would make nice boilers if 4 gals of mash is used.
