I've been looking for a couple of kegs to convert into an all-grain set up and up until today have only found Sankey's with bungs on the side.
This morning however I found a couple of (legal) straight sided half barrel sankey's! It wasn't until I got home that I noticed that they look like brushed metal, not very shiny...I know that doesn't mean anything, but I also found that they were lighter to carry than the half barrel Sankey's with bungs that I have.
Did I just purchase aluminum kegs? How can I tell what these are made of? From what I've read you can't tell just by the appearance (brushed vs. shiney) or how magnetic it is. Weight seems to be a reliable way and if thats a case then these straight sided Sankey's are definitely heavier.
