Ok...im not sure if making a new thread for this was right or not, but im brand new...so here it goes.
Im trying to gather up equipment to start brewing, and i want to go strait into all grain. I have a couple of things already that I lucked out with. My dad had bought a couple of liquid oxygen tanks from a scrap yard years ago, and i cut one apart thinking..."awesome...a nice 20gal heavy stainless kettle" and as if that wasnt enough, when i cut it open there was a nice little 10gal? stainless tank inside.....my question is can i use the smaller tank as a keg? It held liquid oxygen, so i dont think pressure and sealing will be a problem....and i can attach fittings for a bottle and tap...and the manifold on top actually has a pickup tube similiar to that of a keg that runs down to the bottom of the tank...ill get pictures of that later.
