Steam distilling on the grain

[shadylane]

The idea is to use a keg laying on its side with rollers so it can be rotated to fill and empty it.
Basically use it as a big thumper full of fermented grain and use steam to boil off the alcohol.

looks workable to me.

Interesting idea. Love the creativity on this site.

Update.
The owner uses it occasionally for making steam Bourbon.
This was built on a stand so it could empty into a small wheel barrel.
It was necessary to weld a 6" ferrel to the end of the keg, to get a hand inside for cleaning.

That's interesting shady, I so wish I had the room to be more creative with stuff like this.

In the UK we get "Real Ale" kegs with a hole already dead centre in the side wall, it's like they want me to use one!
