I don't even know how to search for this, I tried to find an answer. I bought a couple of kegs some months ago, used of craigslist. They looked fine, and one is. I didn't notice the other though, the out side is kind of bashed in. This makes it impossible to put the dip tube back in without using a hammer. It makes the dip tube lower, essentially.
Just for laughs I pulled the poppits out and put the dip tube one on the other side, the in line. It has the grooves to fit the dip tube, and seems secure. I can try pressure testing it. Just wondered if this is a good idea? I have 2 batches of beer to keg now and I'd like to get both off in one night. Otherwise I found some more kegs locally and plan on getting 2 more anyways. But if I can keep this keg that'd be great!
Edit: Yep, looks like it works just fine! I'm pressure testing it, it's holding for now. I'll leave it over night and see if there's still CO2 in there.
