Corny keg - gouge

[burdbrew]

Hi,

I was given a corny keg, and I found some gouges in the bottom. Not light scratches, a couple of deep gouges, but it's still shiny silver all around the bottom. Anyway, you get what you pay for.

I see mixed reviews when I search when I try to determine whether or not to use the keg.

I was thinking I wanted a tank to dry hop in, this may be the keg for the job. I really don't think four days of dry hopping with already fermented beer will cause any issues. I don't intend to age any of the beer either, just dry hop some fresh IPA, transfer to a clean keg and serve.

I'm usually a if-you-have-to-ask-you-know-the-answer kind of guy, but I hate to recycle this tank. Any wisdom?

Could be a good keg to keep 5g of starsan mixed up in too.

If it doesn't make sense to put beer in that, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Great idea, thank you....
