Sorry. I was thinking fermenter when I read keg. Now I get the joke. :smack:

Now you got me thinking I it's possible. I know the bucket can hold the pressure now to the experimenting phase

You will never keep the lid on. What is the diameter of the lid, about 10 inches. At they the area is pi*5^2. So about 78 square inches. At 10 lb that would be 780 lb the lid would have to hold.

Ok, so we need to re-engineer the lid holding to include a piece of sheet metal and some sort of way of tying it down. Actually not hard at all. I have a few ideas in mind.
(not that I will act on any of them since I have plenty of kegs)
I went to a good craft beer bar/restaurant in Evanston IL last night with my wife. They had a beer on the menu that was called Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. I was unfamiliar with it so I asked the bartender what style of beer it was. She replied that it was aged in barrels but it wasn't heavy and strong like a stout because it's an ale.
I heard great things about that beer for a while, so I finally picked one up and tried it. Maybe it was a bad bottle or something, but the bourbon flavor was way too strong, like a tall, cold, bubbly glass of Jack, no subtlety about it. I guess some people would be into it, but I won't be buying another.

Nothing a little duct tape couldn't handle.

That's exactly what it's supposed to taste like! The best of both worlds. It's also pretty strong.
I didn't "overhear" this, but saw this box at my bottle shop. Hahahahahahaha

Finally overheard one worthy of this thread tonight.
OBC is going through the changes right now. I'm kinda excited to see how they change.Finally overheard one worthy of this thread tonight.
Was at a local bistro that tries to claim itself as a 'craft beer bar' (the first time I was in there, the only bottle in their cooler that wasn't a BMC product was Shiner Bock). A month ago, they hosted a beer tasting with a 'local' microbrewery, Okoboji Brewing Company.
Tonight, they had a live band playing, so I went up (second time in the place) with a buddy. They had a few cans of 'Boji Beach', OBC's rye ale. 5% abv, 23 IBU's. And they had one small growler of OBC's IPA left that they were pouring samples of yet. (as to be expected, a month after the tasting event, it was as flat as tap water, and I'm guessing the hop flavor had started to diminish a touch)
Anyway, a friend of the group I was with walked in, and one of the guys passed him a glass of the rye ale to sample. Guy takes a swig, talking about how dark it is (huh?), looks at it, takes another pull, and passes the glass back. Thinks for a moment, and says "Kind of like Leinenkugel's". Now, I don't drink enough Leiny's to know any better, but I was kind of doubting the guy to start with. And then he follows with...
"Reminds me of Summer Shandy"
Wut?
Summer Shandy is pretty much the only Leiny's beer I'll drink -- it's what I typically take to a cookout where I want to share a craft (or craft-style) beer that the typical BMC drinker might actually try. And nowhere, ever, has it reminded me of a rye ale.
They had a homebrew event at their pub last night, sampling and all. I kind of wanted to make the drive up there for that, but roads around here didn't look like they were going to be exactly favorable. (As it turns out, probably would have been fine - my best friend and drinking buddy also is the lead driver for the state's night snowplow crew in this area, he was out from 6:30-9:00 last night, said on a 20 mile stretch of road he only put his blade down four times).OBC is going through the changes right now.

I'm about an hour fifteen to an hour and a half south - agreed, might have to arrange a meet up sometime. Maybe when the scenery on the lake improves a bit!how long of a drive is it for you? it's only about 40-45 minutes for us. we should meet up sometime & have a brew or two & exchange home brews.

I enjoy rap, but thats just terrible haha. I do remember when the true fourlokos came out and you could seriously get smashed off of two of them. $5 to get wasted, you cant beat that.
Haha I remember trying to finish 3 one night shortly after it hit shelves. Didn't even finish the second one before a lazy-boy did me in
Haha not surprising. Even two was a feat back in the day (4 years ago )
Saw this at a bar the other day. Pretty sure all beers are undistilled?
