Been there; done that ... sort of.  I've fried turkey's before, and have 
also used it to boil crawfish and fixin's (corn, potatoes, mushrooms 
boiled in cajun seasoning).  Never noticed a problem whatsoever with 
either the food or with the homebrews later.  Like I said, just a bit of 
work is all.

Cheers.
