Stainless tanks

[TK]

Came across these on adverts, thinking they would do me nicely for fermenting tanks. Wondering if their previous use 'spraying' would have any impact on their use for brewing (presumably they were filled with chemicals of some sort). With stainless being non porous id imagine they would just need a very good clean but I've been wrong before so hence the question

Some chemicals eg celulose or acrylic thinners will still taint no matter how well they have been cleaned, I'd also be wary of insecticides, you would need a bit more info than spraying before parting with cash, why not buy a couple of second hand cornies from the Homebrew company, they would work out cheaper and at least you would know that they had been used for soft drinks beforehand.

Ok cool, I use biab with a 40ltr bufflao boiler atm so my brews tend to be 20-23 ltrs, tend to get a cornie fill and a shot of bottles out of each brew. would 30ltr be enough headspace for my brews I wonder?

Bottles are always great to try in 6-12 months when your Corney is long gone and just bought another 60 there in alpack for 25 for "the surplus" from my batches

So they were used for weed killing, best steer clear in that case
