This was originally going to be a post on a craigslist find. I bought an old keg for $5 not a bad deal if you ask me. I assumed it would be almost empty but it was almost completely full (made loading in to the back of my car really fun). It is still all muddy and it is a little dented but I thought it would work until I laid it on its side.
I have worked in bars before and taped many a keg on the rush but I have never used one like this, its an older model. The guy I bought it from said the place he rented it from wouldn't take it back because it was an old style but thats beside the point. Ill try to post some pics tomorrow after I clean it up to show my problem. It seems like there is some sort of a cork in the side. Has anyone ever heard of something like this or how to deal with it? It probably cant handle heat can it? Maybe someone can help after I post a pic but I have no idea how to disassemble it.
If nothing else I want to be able to release the pressure and empty this thing. I guess even if it has to be removed I might be able to have it patched. I am hoping to get it all taken care of at a local welding school for free. Shouldn't be a problem but well see.
Any clue what I should be doing next?
