Primary Fermentation in a Stainless Steel Pot

[Chopper]

I've been noticing some 7 gallon stainless steel pots (not tanks) on several winemaking supply web sites. Do any of you use a stainless steel pot for primary fermentation?

Thanks,

Chopper

I don't, I use 6 1/2 gallon juice buckets. I can see some using it BUT, don't use it for deep frying and cooking food that may burn in the bottom. Keep it for ONLY wine. Make sure you keep a lid on it and be prepared to transfer when the heavey fermentation is over.

Those pots are used mostly for brewing beer. I do use a stainless steel contained for my 1 gallon wine batches and I do not use them for anything else.

Those are brew pots and would be very expensive primaries!

If you wanna ferment in stainless, get one of these.
