You know how we cut the tops off of a keg and call it a brew kettle? Well it sucks for 11-12 gallon batches. Really sucks. There is no room for a really good hot break without 15 minutes of working the foam in a way where it will break without a boilover.
So.....I was noticing the nice domed part at the top and started to think. Would there be any way someone could put the keg on a lathe of some sort, heat that domed lip to red hot and pull it upwards? So instead of a dome, you would have more of an extension of the keg wall. That would give us an extra 3-4" or so and would be just about right for a proper break with 12 gallon batches.
Thoughts?
