Hi All,
I've managed to get hold of a couple of used 30L plastic Keykegs for free. I know these are pressure rated so was thinking if/how i could re-use them.
First things first I've (eventually) removed the bag from inside the keg as it'd be a nightmare to work with. This has been done without damaging the top. I have since then used them for secondary fermentation of some big batches of wine. They are perfect for this as it's easy to get a tight seal on them with the correct size bung.
After brewing more beer and fizzy things this winter I was wondering if it would be possible to get a proper coupler for them such as the one on the link below and use them to force carb stuff. This would need a tube going down into the keg I guess as otherwise it won't draw any beer when pressurised.

Anyone else had much luck in reusing these things? Could I just run it upside down instead of having a tube go into it?
Cheers
