Most Beer kegs are stainless. Once you drink the beer you’re only out the small deposit. Distrbuters may sell old ones but I’m not sure. my brother did this to make his brew pot , if you tig weld the appropriate nut in the side it takes an electric water heater coil he built a control with a thermostat and timer and he gets it going then it boils for his duration you could do the same with a scalder just mount the coil low

we butcher up to 100 chickens a week, yearround. Our latest one uses a laundry sink with a holes drilled for the heating elements. Use automotive sealants and wood blocks to get it away from the plastic sink tub. Use elements for a plastic water heater tank. The tank will last 100 times longer than the elements will. Find me an element that will put up with the mineral filled water from bloody chickens that is cheap, or a way to keep them from going bad and I would appreciate it! They last for about 2500-5000 chickens right now.

I take mine to a Mennonite family. Drop them off at 5am and pick them up at noon. Beautifully clean and packed in heavy plastic bags. Cooling in the freezer in single layers. Whole or cut up. $2.50 each. I splurge and let them do it for me. No mess to clean up. They do a better job than I do.

The Amish can do the same here. I heard it was $1.50 each bird. Plucked, gutted and bagged. Put in the freezer till you pick them up.
