I'm new to the board and have been extract brewing for a couple years. Reading some of the things you guys have done has inspired me to start moving to AG and building an electric Brutus 20 style rig.
So to further that goal I picked up a keg tonight while supporting my local brewery. But it has a hard black coating some kind of polyethylene I think he said. I've seen pictures of on here of the thick rubber coating and I don't think this is it.
All the writing on the top is in German...and I don't read German.
Has anyone used one of these before, is there a sweet stainless keg waiting under that hard black exterior? Do I want to leave it on for insulation, or is this the whole keg? I haven't taken a saw to it or anything yet, but thought someone here might have some advice.
Thanks.
