Hey all, I know this may sound a bit absurd. But would my pressure cooker/canner with the jiggler weight on it be an acceptable brewing vessel? I just thought it might work similarly to a bucket with fermentation lock to let air escape without inviting nasties in....aye, nay?
I am a pretty inexperienced brewer, have seen my mom brew a bunch as a kid but aside from some awful sugar wine I ended up freezing off, never tried my hand at it for myself.
I suppose I could just go buy the proper brewing equipment but storage space is a HUGE issue here. And, I very much dislike the idea of buying a lot of new equipment just to see if I would even like to begin homebrewing. It seems like such a waste to use the stuff once or twice and then stuff in a shed somewhere to gather dust for all of eternity.
So your honest advice, anyone? Don't be afraid to burst my little pressure cooker bubble, I want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly as far as this possibility goes! I am also open to any and all methods of other improvisation.
If what I want to brew matters at all, I was recently gifted about 30lbs of honey and I like mead....
Thanks everyone.
