I used a 90 degree pneumatic die grinder for my AB Keggle. It worked great! I just used a course scotch brite pad and then a fine pad on the cut rim and now it's smooth as a baby's behind. This took me all of about an hour and it looks and feels great to the touch. I'll be doing my first...

Great ideas all around! I like the idea of dry hoping in the keg!! Thanks guys!

Thanks, Doug! Guess I'm gonna have to go back to pails.

Ok, so I've only dry hopped my brews a couple of times. The first time I used the bag and it was a #@%@$ to get out of the carboy. The second time I just put the pellets straight in. Going to secondary the second time was pointless as I still had hop city in keg after kegging! I do my best...

Ha ha! You're right! Actually I had the price wrong, it was $39.99, so the two pack was still a deal. I'm going to need even more kegs, so I'm still checking Craigslist and the lot.

Thanks, FJ! That sounds like a reasonable plan!

Ok, I know that this is probably a stupid noob question, but I bought a used kegerator that was set up for sanke kegs. It has a 20 lb co2 bottle and a 3/8" line coming from the regulator. I just bought a couple of pin lock kegs and a two line manifold and all of the compression fittings are...

I tried to post this deal twice, but for some reason it has to be approved by a moderator. Anyway, check out corny keg . com. they have pin locks for sale for $35 or 2 for $74! That's on heck of a deal!
