Would this make a good keggle???

There's no way you're boiling wort will stay in that once you cut the hole out. Many people have tried using those horizontal kegs for keggles, but they're just too messy.


Looks pretty perfect to me. Whats the concern? It's full 15.5G size right?

 

[Lil' Sparky]

Any particular reason you felt the need to ask? Looks like a normal 1/2 bbl keg to me. Are you trying to get someone to tell you it's stolen and that you should return it to AB?

 

[skeeordye11]

the guy has 2 of these but says he thinks they are aluminum. I thought all kegs were steel? Just wanna make sure I'm getting the right thing.

Everyone together now.... It's not aluminum, it's stainless. Ugly, dirty, dented, scratched stainless steel. The same kind that everyone else is using, from the same source that everyone else used as well.
Think of it as beer community activism, You are personally making sure that 1 keg will never hold Bud Light again. If only we could save them all....

And do not ask about the legality of buying it from a guy instead of craigslist, you will not get an answer. It's up to you. *tries to stop the debate before it happens*
Buy it if it's a reasonable price. Buy both.

Just make vent holes in the rolled lip of the skirt so it doesn't explode...

Deal done. Just wanted some conformation that I wasn't indeed buying kegs that wouldn't work although I was 95% sure that I was good. It always feels better to poll the audience. Thank you all for your quick responses, and I did indeed get them both.

"Think of it as beer community activism, You are personally making sure that 1 keg will never hold Bud Light again. If only we could save them all...." <----- And that was funny!

Thank you for the reminder. I have read that thread before but it was long ago, and it didn't even cross my mind to look and see if there were hole in the lip or not. Good save.

But it is as if you have already started the debate by bringing it up. And since you mentioned it......

well crap.

What you get them both for if you don't mind sharing?

Oh, he's a thief???

Cut his hands off!!!!

$50 a piece. They are actually for 2 buddies of mine, but CL in my area appears to be much better for finding kegs.

 

[Lil' Sparky]

Well, that ain't the best of deals, but I suppose it's cheaper than a $200 SS pot.

Oh, I haven't begun to flog. Now where did I put my cat o' nine tails??

Ahhh, so YOU are the a$$ that left that thing at my ex-girlfriend's house, huh?!?!

 

[Lil' Sparky]

Actually, I stole it from her after she tried to whip my ass with it!
