I'm working on getting set up to do 10 gallon batches and I've had an ad up on craigslist looking for Kegs for the past 3 weeks or so. (Only legally owned kegs, lets not do that discussion)
The person I'm talking to right now has two kegs that he had turned into chairs years ago. Turns out this means that there are a couple holes in the lid (no problem there as I"m cutting it out) but there are two holes further down on the keg where he had riveted a bar for your feet to set on; Still waiting for pictures. I don't know how big the hole is yet.
Now I'd like to use one of these for a keggle, and not sure about the other. Would JB weld be good enough to fill those holes and have it hold boiling water? Should I put an aluminum rivet in the hole and also seal with JB weld? Should I just skip this and keep waiting for a holeless keg?
