Crawfish boil with 500 gallon brewery barrel?

Anyone ever have experience with boiling crawfish in large brewery type barrels? Our alumni chapter has been asked by our new venue, a brewery, if we would like to make use of their on site brewing equipment which includes a 500 gallon stainless steel barrel. It has an access hatch at the bottom and a stirrer at the bottom which could help get the mudbugs out.
We're currently in the process of checking whether this specific one can even come to a boil. (Other barrels do but don't have egress other than pipes for liquid.) There are a lot of other questions about how this could work, so we're looking to pick the brain of anyone whose ever done this type of operation if we can.

This is a terrible idea. 500 gallons is way too big for crawfish.
Edit: Large crawfish trailers can get near that, but they aren’t cylindrical like a brewery barrel. And most will break it up so it’s not just one 500 gallon pot. Instead it’s multiple pots to get to the 500 gallons.
Plus at 500 gallons, are you planning on boiling 1000lbs+ every boil?

Using strange equipment for a large cooking project without any practice is an absolutely horrible idea.

I think its retarted for the brewery to offer that to you. If it was my equipment used for brewing beer, i wouldnt want it brewing crawfish. I wonder how many cleans and brews it will take to stop tasting like crawfish.
