keg converion question

[timbrewer]

i plan to use a keg as a still and also to build beer , what sort of info could someone offer,anything will help ,ive been doing a few weeks worth of research and from what i can see there are some conflicting ideas as far as cutting the keg,the only issue i can see is , how do i clean and sanitize if i dont?

My advice is get some rest. You've been researching too hard and you are no longer able to convey sense. This is normal. If you choose to continue with this 'hobby' please note that you will increasingly make less sense until you one day shall wake from your filthy bed a primate--an ape of your choosing, but perhaps even a monkey of random appointment. Good luck with your first brew!

I don't know a thing about distilling but there is a great brewing resource at http://www.brewhardware.com/

There are plenty of hardware vendors listed in the vendor section. Read the vendor reviews section too. For making a still, since that is 100% ILLEGAL in the US and this is a site based in the US, you'll get no help here.

did i say still? i meant ... anyhow thanks for the help,ill check that out.

Also check out Bargain Fittings for parts and pieces. Stainless Brewing is another source you can look to for hardware. Both are listed in the vendor section...

BTW, you brew beer, not build it.

just for the record my still is to produce essetial oils,and does anyone have a good recipe for a first timer? ive been polluting myself unknowingly for years with a flavorless beer from a blue can,when one evening i drank a bel haven and was hooked on the enormous flavor it had,i was like the rat in the movie "ratatoulie" and then tried pumpkinhead ale and have gone threw a dozen other micro brews since and cant seem to go back to the other stuff regardless of the cost difference,and now im hooked on brewing my own. i joined this site in hopes to find all the info i would need and so far it seems endless and ive always said you cant beat exsperience.so i ask anyone with the patience and willingness to offer theyre wisdom and guidance to bring it on.i know absolutly nothing about brewing,ive read a pile of postes and the language is all foreign to me so please bare with me cause ive got alot of questions. thanks
