So there are some kegs just sitting across from my job behind a dumpster.
Waited patientally to see if they were ever going to be picked up and they basically sat there 2 weeks. Would of actually grabbed before but I let it slip my mind...I know a bar closed down recently and I think they just put them out there.
Well this morning....I took the car straight over and grabbed one early before work.
Did some web research on how to cut it....I like working on things but never any deeper than plain old dremel.
Found 2 great links...One for the items needed and one for how to actually open the keg, release air and remove ball valve and cut it.
For someone who has NEVER cut one, it came out basically perfect in my eyes.
Two links = Video of Items (HERE) ...grand total spent was $24 using 20% off coupon at Harbor Freight and Video of opening and cutting()
All in all...took me roughly 35 mins or so. Cannot get any better than that. Now to just order false bottom as this will be my mash tun and some reflectix.
