I've read of folks having problems with kegs deforming when they cut the keg below the top skirt.
I'm wondering about cutting the keg as normal with a 12-13" opening, then cutting the skirt off just above where it's welded to the keg and then grinding it flush. Basically leaving the remaining domed portion of the top to add volume and help maintain the shape.
I'm looking to eliminate that crevice where the skirt meets the keg. It seems to always catch grain, makes it impossible to pour anything out of a keggle with out making a mess and just adds to the mess when there is a boil over.
I'm pretty much clean in place, so I don't do much lifting and don't have a great deal of need for the handles.
Has anyone cut just the skirt off the top of a keggle? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ed
