Alternate use for sanke keg

[brewpal]

This recently modified sanke is installed in a storage room just off the brewing area/garage/man space. The room is below grade which required using a pressure-activated laundry sink pump to get the output up to the drain line.

"Filling the Bud keg" has a new meaning now around here.

that is fantastic. I just hope you never have to clean that sump pump. Do you always leave the water running, or just to flush?

just careful you dont stumble onto one of those sharp edges after a few to many homebrews

Oh, that's just great.... now the whole world knows how Busch Light is brewed!

That, my friend, is one hell of a bragging piece!

And another "dream" project goes on the list

Cheers!

I am speechless right now, and tearing up a bit...what a great idea.

That's awesome!

Nice! A local bar has two urinals very similar to this, they also use a cutoff sanke base as the sink.

Oh my Lord that would be bad. I just want to curl up in the fetal position just thinking about it.

Awesome, completely awesome.

Notes:

The ball valve is only opened to "flush". It takes about 8 sec to run enough water to just fill the bottom of the keg to activate the pressure switch on the pump which sucks it dry. The pump has a check valve to prevent back-flow. It actually runs very quietly.

The metals edges were rounded and are actually quite smooth. You would have to have to be seriously impaired for them to be a hazard in which case you would be excused from the brewing area.

-1 for the guest today who could not guess the purpose of the new addition when given three tries. He will not be a frequent visitor to the man-cave.

Action video. The pump is quiet so you have to listen closely.
