Finally got my hands on 3 Sankes last night to begin my long journey into creating a brewing rig. I tried my best to get kegs legally and found a keg party store that had some old one laying out back.
The thing is the owner claimed they had been there 5 years and he couldn't get rid of them cause the brewer would not take them back. The crazy part is that all 3 were topped off with 5 yeay old beer. I had to go around the back and select the ones I wanted and load them into my truck. Moving fully lodaded kegs is not for the weak! I then went by my LHBS and scored an old leaky tap for free and went home and drained all the beer down the street.
thanks to Bobby_M for the info.
Questions
1. Did I aquire my kegs in a legal enough fashion?
2. Can someone please post better pics of their keggle cutting jig? (Wooden one)
3. Where is the best place to find fittings and what fittings should I go with? QD? NPT? Mixture?
4. Where can I find some Barkeep's Friend or something comparable?
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas from a brewer looking to advance.
