I have a couple of pony and torpedo kegs sitting around and I am thinking why am I buying expensive corny kegs that seem to leak a lot when I have commercial kegs sitting around. So I looked at the 1/2 barrels I have popped (I got them from a brewery where my friend works) then took a mirror and found they look pretty much the same. The tubes are bigger but they can go into the dishwasher. So why can't we use Sankey kegs for home brew if we're doing the same thing we would do for cleaning a corny keg? I also took out the check valve and filled it with sanitizer and water. Went in like a charm. So why can't we use them? Have I just discovered the great brewery conspiracy against home brewing? Am I going to be excommunicated?
