I have this old keg I was going to turn into a fermenter (never did and I only do 5 gallon batches). It is an old Heileman Brewing keg with a side bung. Could be a good project keg for someone looking to do some welding as well.. $25 bucks or make me an offer. I still have plenty of ball lock kegs available as well.

I will take a pick at lunch break. If I remember right it was some type of thread about the size of a sanke adapter. In the pic of the inside you can see the gas in liquid out to the right. I will take a pic with measurements on lunch!

Sorry for the delay. Maybe these will help?

how many gallon is it? you have bung plug for it? still available? willing to ship?
 
It's a Hoff-Stevens keg. They came in 15.5 gallons and 7.75 gallons. I can't tell from the picture what size it is, it is stamped on the top of it.
A wooden bug was often times used, I have a couple of the kegs, I have a few of the wooden bungs as well, bought them online from one of the larger distributors, don't recall where, they are inexpensive.
 
sorry for some reason I am not subscribed to my own threads by default.. I just saw this. Yeah I can get a shipping quote. I unfortunately do not have the bung. This one is about the size of a standard keg so I am assuming it was 15.5 gallon. I will double-check.
