45 gallon SS mash fermenter for keg still? Overkill?

Post by **CanadianBacon** » Mon Aug 18, 2014 2:24 am

So there is a SS barrel I have been eying up for a year now at the HB store for 100$, 45 gallon. My current build is a 15 gallon keg still. Would the 45 gallon fermenter be over kill? Or should I just use another keg? What do you guys use for fermenters?

45 gallon would be good. Would give you enough wash/mash for 3 stripping runs and a spirit run.

I never looked at it like that in terms of 3 stripping runs and just 1 spirit in a 45 gallon fermenter. Defiantly sold already on that idea.

Sounds like a steal. I would buy it.

Would make the perfect mash tun for 55 gal screw top fermenters, and keg still.
