Looking for ideras on what to use for a large boiler

[DrunkASAskunk]

So I have been serching all over the net to fined a larger boiler. I am wondering if any one has any idears on what I could use. I have looked for SS gas tanks, old hot water systems and even thought of welding my 2 50L kegs together that was my original plan but I wish to keep my kegs as they are.
My serching on the net as led me to this web site in the USA http://conical-fermenter.com/products/brite-tanks/ and beleave me I would love one as they look very cool but the price is abit hight.
If it was already in Australia it might be a diffrent thing at that price. What I would like to acheve ultimately with such a large boiler is to put my two 60L wash in at the same time. I hate the idear of needing to do 4 wash runs befor I can even start a spirit run.
So my next step is to look at building a larger boiler from scrach. Serching for some large diameter SS pipe and just doing it. I just hope some of you guys might have a better idear.

Thanks for any imput that you might want to give. o:-)

Flick Mac a PM mate,he was toying with the idea about 6 months ago getting a couple of boilers sent from OS,he even sent me some photos,but I can't find the damn things any where.
Either that of go see your friendly local fabricator,and get them to knock one up for ya :handgestures-thumbupleft: Ive often seen em on gumtree and eBay over your way

This may be out of left field but look at truck wreckers on the side Of the trucks you can find up to 100 l ss water tanks pros:- already water tight, have mounting brackets already attached and can range from 60l up. Cons :- may be expensive, can be hard to find, not sure of wall thickness, may only be as small as 60l.
This was what I was going for until I found my 18 g kegs :dance:

Apparently many of the commercial stainless boilers are made out of giant paint tins, which come from National Cans. Maybe they are worth a look:

you can pick up nice second hand boilers from the same metal recyclers where you buy your second hand copper tube... we did, complete with a gas burner under neath. You just have to be Johnny on the spot. :teasing-tease:

I've got no idera :teasing-neener:

For slightly more helpful input, you could build/buy a bubbler and you wouldn't need to do 4 wash runs either :-D

How about this one?

If it was a third of the price I would consider buying it :laughing-rolling:

An old copper hot water service tank would work.
They are getting hard to find these days.
Check out some of the used machinery suppliers/scrappies, there are lots of good tanks/vessels that get re sold via these dudes, they are usually seen as too good for scrap, and the scrappies see the cash.

these look great, but shipping may make it a bit steep....
