Even if you could go buy and see if what they have is what we are looking for and if they have a huge amount of them maybe could talk to brew and bulk buy a bunch of them

I'd take one just for S&G if they're completely intact.

I'm having a hard time getting out of my cave this week - work is crazy. If no one else can get there before Friday I'll try to stop in Friday afternoon...

One other things is that we are fronting over $400 on yeast for this grain order so cash on hand is low at the moment - that won't last long of course once the order arrives but for now we are pretty slim on fronting cash through the club - I wouldn't mind fronting myself though, if we were sure people were going to buy...

Like I said I'm ready to start a keggle project and cash in hand isn't an issue assuming they are 60L and have not cracks/holes.

Stopped by Best Metals today.  They do have a small mountain O kegs so I managed to grab 2 58.6L and 2 50L Sankes.  The rest appeared to be the Golden Gate style with the bung hole and top and bottom valves although I didn't go through the whole pile.  I got them for $1.50/pound.

These are Sanke (i guess) as opposed to the Golden Gate style which have the top valve, side bung and bottom valve.  This is a single stainless vessel with one valve on top.

I think I'm going to have the tops cut off and use them for a kettles and tuns.

Speaking of which does any know where I can get a good quality sanke to mush tun conversion kit (weld less of course)
