I've never heard of someone taking a Sanke apart before modifying it. Must be an engineer.

Taking it apart before buying it at the scrap yard reduces the price quickly. Why pay for SS that you don't need and any old beer that was still in the keg?

I was thinking more along the lines of using them for, I don't know... kegging?

That would be much more difficult to do. You need specific equipment and chemicals to clean sanke kegs.

Not if you take it apart everytime like it sounds that guy did.
Why else would he make a tool to disasmble the keg? Just take it apart and clean and sanitize like normal, just be sure you wear gloves or soak your hands in sanitizer for a while.

This would also be good for using your sanke as a fermenter. Just remove the guts and put in a bung/airlock.

Rick made this one into his boil pot after cutting off the lid. It seems like a lot of extra work to use them as a keg.

There are some brewers in our club that do this. Cleaning the kruesen off wouldn’t be any more difficult than cleaning a carboy except you can't see through it.
