Looking for a brew pot and started thinking that a cheap keg with the top cut out is going to be cheaper than a thin s/steel pot, any tips for modding a keg into a brew pot ?
Yep google poping spigot i cant remember now i now it involved vice grips and d#$king around with pliers. Remove dip tube fill with water grab your grinder use guard against metal rim as guide and slowly carefully remove top. Sand her smooth till no rip de fingers can happen. Then bung a two piece ball valve in her available from one of the many HB stores round. Youll need at 21mm hole bore (from memory) to cut out your hole for ball valve. Bung that in with a 90 degree stainless 1/2 " BSB elbow your choice if you want to then pick up from center or off to the edge with some bent copper piping. Sight glass is optional as well as thermowell ect ect.Looking for a brew pot and started thinking that a cheap keg with the top cut out is going to be cheaper than a thin s/steel pot, any tips for modding a keg into a brew pot ?
