For Trade - NJ - Rubber Coated Miller Sanke Keg

On my recent trip to visit my uncle in Ohio, I was given a Miller Sanke keg (half barrel, 15.5 gallons) that he's had sitting in his shed for a few years. The store wouldn't take it back so he hung onto it.

It's completely rubber coated and in 100% perfect condition. I only have need for something that I can direct fire so I'm hoping to trade this for a non-coated half barrel keg.

Any takers?

I'm in Sayreville (GSP exit 124) and willing to meet within a half hour drive or so...

Too bad you're not still in Ohio, I'd trade you one of my SS 1/2bbl's.

How far are you from Aberdeen, MD?

A bit farther than a half hour drive.

Hmmm. In morristown and considering. Would it make a good mash tun? Do you still cut the top off to use it? Or is this best used as a fermenter?

I'm sure you could use it as a mash tun, but I'm not sure how thick the rubber is and how well it will hold temps. I'd do a search for electric brew rigs and you might come across some people who have used them that way.

If I were to convert it to a Mash Tun, I'd pick up a 2" Tri-Clover to 1/2" NPT fitting, put it on the top of the neck of the keg. Use this for your bottom drain, then cut out the "bottom" of the keg, put a False Bottom in and you're good to go!

shoot go all out and put an electric RIMS on it and when you cut the bottom turn that into a screen for the bottom

Still available. Would also consider a trade for a couple of ball lock cornies...

How much do you want for it? I am in Ohio.

Don't really want to ship (my schedule is full for easily the next 4-5 weeks)
