    So...what to do with this sawed-in-half sanke keg?

    I have a party in Oct. each year for friends to try whatever I've got bottled and kegged up, and last year I cut a keg in half-lengthwise- to use as open cooler type fixtures. Honestly, they kinda sucked at it, as the sides made for minimal usable space. So now I have 2 of these- duh- and want...

    What to do with this?

    So, I have a number of these sanke keg SS tubes and am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how they can be turned into something useful. An application within the homebrewing arena is preferred, but whatever you can think of, really...I just am drawing a blank on what to do with 'em. They...

    Need some quick CO2 line help...please
