Mash tun / Fermenter / Stripper

[zach]

I purchased a slightly used 14 gallon stainless fermenter with a clamp on lid for a good price. I'm thinking about adapting it to use as a mash tun / fermenter / stripper . I'm thinking about using this for a steam injection mash tun/ thumper. I want to use it for fermenting on the grain or fruit pulp then stripping with steam.

The steam injector I was thinking of using is just a 1/2" copper pipe with three tees to four open ends in the bottom of the fermenter below a perforated plate.

How loud will the thumper be heating up? ( I live in an apartment and don't want to disturb the neighbors )
