I am getting ready to cut the top off my keg to be used as a boil pot. I like the look of the keggles with the tops completely open (no rim to set lid on). From reading the forum it sounds like opening it all the way up also simplifies cleaning.
Experienced folks, am I making a mistake if I cut the top all the way out and grind it down smooth to the keg wall to allow total access? Or should I leave a lip to set a lid on? I see most of the folks only cut a 11.5-12" hole and leave a lip. But whenever I have seen them being used the lids are not on the boil keggles.
If have access to the tools, given what you know would you open it all the way up or leave a lip for a lid?
