Hey all,
I wonder if anybody has any experience using the double-walled plastic storage tanks typically used in hazardous materials storage as a jacketed fermenter?
In particular, I was looking at the products listed here: http://www.plastic-m...uble-wall-tanks
It seems to me that one could modify those tanks with an inlet - outlet port on the spill containment outside wall for cooling flow, and bam -- a pretty quick and easy jacketed fermenter. I expect that without a conical bottom it might be a little more work to pump all of the ferment out. I mean to call them to find out if the tanks can be made from a food-safe plastic, which is a major open question.
