Plus VAT ?

Post: # 16678Post Ireland-or-bust »

Hi,

I've aquired a 1000 litre stainless steel vat.
its originaly designed for milk storage.
it has/had a stiring device mounted thru the top.
But that no longer works due to non-use.
Its a double skinned tank and in perfect condition.


Does anyone has any ideas for its use?

So far i was thinking of an egg incubator
or maybe it can be used for homebrew, i know nothing of that tho.

Any ideas?

My favorite is Jacuzzi :-)


Mark.

If you can make the stirring device work, how about a giant food mixer?

Water storage.
Charcoal burner.
Pond liner.

Designer Bath

or even a water butt (maybe you don't need one!)

Start brewing beer and open a pub! 1000 ltr is an awful lot just as homebrew...

if you could dig a deep enough hole for it,you could make a cold cellar for your root crops with it.

Well, you could try waiting until next winter then putting a min/max thermometer in it to see how cold it gets! You don't want it to freeze inside.
