where on this forum would i post/read about shipping container construction?

i want to use them to construct a brewery, my issue, insulation (thermal stability is needed for the beer fermentation). my current plan is to use earthern filled tires to build a retaining wall around 1/2 of the container, which will be on grade. then import material against the tires to create an hill. i know that containers are not designed for side loading, and will be crushed if loaded in that manner. i have seen people using rock gabians in a simular fashion to help support the conatiners, but tires are free.

Heres a few threads about them. They do make insulated ones too if you can find them available.
