planning on making a keggle

[Matteo57]

aren't kegs made of SS? Are there some that are made from Aluminum? Is aluminum bad for you if you were to use it for a keggle or fine also? No health concerns or anything you have to do to "prep" them before you use them to brew with right?

Thanks all!

most are SS, i think some old ones are aluminum. I would try to acquire SS ones if i were u.

 

[Matteo57]

Do they say whether they are aluminum or SS on them anywhere?

 

[Matteo57]

Btw, here is a picture of it.

That is most likely stainless.

Stick a magnet on it. If it sticks a little bit you have SS

 

[Matteo57]

any other way besides a magnet? I have heard that doesn't work....

Take the edge of a screwdriver to it. If it leaves a little scratch, it's stainless. If it leaves a big scratch, it's aluminum. Looks like stainless to me.

If it's empty, but heavy, it's stainless. If it's light for its size, is aluminum. My empty keg (with the lid cut out and the spear removed) is still HEAVY! I bet it's 30 pounds empty.

Is there a year mark on it? That keg looks like stainless to me. I have 6 of those.

 

[cobolstinks]

start to drill into it. If its a huge pain in the ass its SS.

 

[crazyseany]

hit it with a grinder...i heard aluminum won't spark...

also anything after like 88 (google it) would be stainless..

It's a bud keg and it's not old it still has a inventory sticker. It's stainless. The older ones have round holes on the chimes. But I've never seen a aluminum anhauser keg anyway.

If it has liquid you can drink, you smile.
If it doesn't, you frown.





Uh sorry, thought we were talking about something else.

 

[WCoyoteSG]

yep, that's definitely stainless
