Stainless steel beer barrels

[Polcho]

I don't bottle my beer, its in barrels. I want to move away from plastic barrels if I can.

Does anybody know of a stainless steel version of a barrrel.
The same sort of thing as a 5 Gallon Pressure Barrel with an S30 Valve.

Not a Corny keg.

Thank you.

Alas, no metal pressure barrels are made these days. Boots used to make an aluminium pressure barrel, but that must have been a long time ago because Boots had already stopped selling home stuff when I started being in the mid 2000s. You occasionally see them coming up for sale second hand, but I have no clue whether they use the s30 system.

I know you said not a corny keg, but can I ask why?

If it is because you don't want ball locks you can probably get a converter for an S30 valve. Quick search shows this:

(out of stock though so you might need to shop around).

Do you have a time machine ? The mid 2000's is 2050

This is interesting

Well, I'm happy with the simple barrel system, would just prefer to move away from plastic, if at all possible.
I just think the Corny kegs look like more to go wrong, and more to faff with.
I'm not diametrically opposed to the idea though.

By the way, I would like to store wine in a barrel/keg, but how would this be achieved without making it fizzy?

Also, I did look at them a few years ago, but couldnt find one that would hold a whole brew.

Likewise, but not diameter-or-electrically.
I use barrels + S30 for simplicity. And because places round here, won't do CO2 refills anymore. Unless refilled every 6 months, or re-tested.
