What To Do With 30l Comet Keg?

[Phrak]

I may or may not have access to an unwanted, overseas keg, sitting dormant in someone's back-yard for the last 10yrs.

Any thoughts on what it's be good for?
Seems a waste to chop it up as a flame guard for the kettle, even though it'd be the perfect diameter...

I can't see me using it as an HLT or Mash Tun - I have a new 80L kettle so triple batches (66L final volume) are on the cards very soon.

It appears to be one of the Comet Euro Kegs from Belgium:

i'd be gearing it up as a HLT myself...

Do you have a still yet...........?

It wouldn't really be enough volume for an HLT for triple, 66L batches, would it?

For ~15Kg of grain, I'd need ~40L of strike water plus ~50L of sparge water.

I cut up a keg for a flame guard around the bottom of my kettle and it was one of the best things I have done. I can now brew on windy days and it does not effect the flame at all. I know its a bit of a waste but if U have everything else....why not?

Negative. Not particularly interested in distilling, tbh.
I may consider a trade for other gear for someone interested in using it for a still though?

open the top up and use it to boil green prawns/yabbies/lobsters in while you're mashing.......

modify to a smoker ..to do jerky in........

the list goes on..

split it in half, weld some legs on it, buy a good motor and turn it into a spit! :super: thats my next project...
