Hello good people;
I see in the US it's very common to use sanke-kegs as components in the home-brewery. Here in Norway, many people use scrap-water heaters, as kegs aren't that readily available (and scrap-hotwater tanks are usually free).
People use them both as mash-tuns, hot-liquor, and boilers. Some people make them quite decorative as well. Offcourse, there is usually a little welding involved. Cleaning scrap hotwater-tanks inside to remove the "rusty film" is fairly easy using hydrochloric acid.
Has anyone on this forum tried using scrap-hotwatertanks for brewing? I'd love to see how you did it!
