Fermenter maybee

Mate gave me this over the weekend food grade plastic 320 litres

To heat it I was thinking it sits in the trolley remove it then 2 in styrene foam then a large copper coil on top then the fermenter
Through the coil circulate hot water [of course thermostatically controlled ]
you could also insolate the container

I'd be careful though mate.. if you have seen my green spirit post it had me buggered if I knee where it came from.

I have recently ran a wash that was a week old and it had a tinge of green to it.. the only thing it could possibly be is the drum I fermwnt in..

Still more testing to be done to say for sure but it's looking like all food grade are not created equal
