WOW! 4 of those in a fridge and I'd be set for the year. Actually at 5' tall I don't think my fridge would work unless I hacked off the top freezer.

 

[kickflip_mj]

I would love a few of those, but they are way too far for me and I don't even make that much beer.lol

 

[sk888smooth]

These are pretty sweet! I have an upright freezer and I don't think it would even fit in that! haha

If a gallon of beer weighs about the same as a gallon of water, we could assume that the weight would be about 8 lbs per gallon. At 75 gallons, this cornie would weigh about 600 lbs when full, and that is just the weight of the beer, not including the weight of the tank.

How would you handle it?

How would you handle it?

you don't, at that weight. you place the cornie in your fridge (or wherever), fill it with beer, and then it doesn't move until you've emptied it.

this isn't the sort of thing that you bring to parties...

Its like almost having a bright tank, you could carb in this beast and also drink from it.... we shall call it the mega keg!

Wow, this looks awesome. With 10+ in stock, I could use them as serving tanks, however it looks like they come without lids and also only have one post (liquid out?). Any thoughts?

 

[kickflip_mj]

They look like basic corny lids, I'm thinking you could use that port as the gas in and have another port welded on with a dip tube to the bottom?

 

[old-pasture-brew]

Sorry sweetcell but I respectfully disagree, this is exactly what you show up with to a party!!!!

Pics look like there is a second nipple for a post.

I was thinking that they could be cheaply modded to be 2.5bbl brite tanks. I think that you would want a way to quick carb the beer and also you would want a larger diameter dip tube.

 

[Spellman]

Imagine doing a keg stand off of one of these!

 

[LandoLincoln]

There's no dip tube. Not interested.

 

[kickflip_mj]

There's no dip tube. Not interested.

It wouldn't be hard adding one

It'd be great for a big blending tank that you keep aging in. You take out 5 gallons to put on tap and then brew another 5 gallons to put into the big keg.

It would probably crush your fridge or freezer to have a 600 pound object in it.

true dat. i was thinking of a walk-in fridge, not sure there are any stand-alone units big enough for this thing!

 

[kickflip_mj]

Maybe even a big glycol chiller coil through the lid?
