Stainless Keg Question (OP Frisp)

[Wez]

I have access to a stainless 11 gallon keg which would make a perfect boiler. Anyone know how to get the pressure off so I can get the lid cut out? Its a fancy almost triangular connect? Its foreign so no legal issues in the UK
I have tried the bodily pressure on the poppet with no luck

Sorry Guys got my forums confused. Hadnt read Wez's posting about moving across.
So whats the opinion Propane or Drill it.
And suggestions re the 2 Alloy kegs

What is the width of the kegs at their base?

I use LPG now after 15 yrs of using an electrim brewbin/boiler.

I love brewing outdoors now and have even brewed in the rain which I could not do with electric for obvious reasons.

If it has a rolled rim then make sure you cut a hole for the air to escape from, I've seen pictures where the rim has gone bang hot wort and shrapnel went everywhere.

Get yourself a large SS ball bearing, and gaffer tape it to the center of the fitting. Turn keg upside down, and then climb on top of the keg. . . . You may have to jump up and down on it to 'break' the seal, but when you do you will find yourself on our own little desert island in a sea of foam















Don't do this in the kitchen :whistle:
