I have considered it. A few contraptions have worked but were generally too much of a pain in the ass. My current build is a large plastic tote with a half-height tote nestled into it with it's bottom drilled out. I will then line it with layers of cheesecloth or another permeable fabric. It really needs a huge surface area and a sturdy setup to hold it all together while it drains.
