... not where I thought that was going. Couldn't figure out the 36" pool vs a 40 gallon drum but each to their own... and the lack of yeast.... then the lightbulb turned on and we were talking about different things.
Have you perhaps considered 12v electrolysis to remove the rust? Baking Soda a battery and a 12v charger ?
Not sure where the 45 gallon drum notion came from. All that is going on here is the creation of a soaking tub for rust removal. The choice of feed grade molasses is to avoid the whole yeast and mold/penicillin business. Feed grade m-ss is bio-degradable so disposal is tipping over the wading pool once done and letting the lawn get some nourishment out of the deal. One suggestion is to just dig a hole and dump it that way but the water table here is so high that just lifting the sod gets you back flow. I do have a resource for determining the ratio/proportion of m-ss to water. The only thing holding me back was the need for a bit of work that had to happen to my Wheee-ler to make it easier to attach cargo and ratchet straps without having them droop and fall off during the process. Got that done this afternoon; nope, no pictures, not yet at least.

I have a really good spiced rum recipe if you change your mind and take Axisg's advice.
