Hi Guys/Gals...
Got my hands on a 50l s/s keg and just wanted to start a disscussion on the best way to cut it open. Thinking the best way is to cut it so the handles are still attatched. Also what to cut it with...jigsaw with metal cutting blade, angle grinder, oxy??? I'm also a bit unsure the best way to make full use of it...as in making it into a mash tun/HLT. I'm currently in the progress of picking up gear here and there so i can get started on AG brewing. I've got the fermentor already, I have a mill on the way, got a gas 2 burner outdoor to boil from, bought some swiss voile on the w/end and was thinking of buying an 30lt aluminium pot with like a cray pot insert which i was going to use for a BIAB system. Now i have the keg, i need to re-think my plan...thought i'd throw it out there and get some thoughts from people in the know...cos i need all the help i can get... :drinks:
