so i was at a local beer brewing shop the other day brewing a double IPA with a buddy of mine, when i noticed a father and son bottling some beer on the other side of the shop. They were using the standard keg that this shop uses to carbonate their customers batches in. It was a keg that holds about 15 gallons of liquid and has the same kind of latched opening on the top and ball lock calves as one of the homebrewers 5 gallon cornelius kegs. These kegs intrigued me because...
A. I had never seen one like this before
B. It had the capacity of a sankey, but the user facility of a cornelius
i then asked an employee of the shop if he knew what these type of kegs were called, or where they came from. he belived they were some sort of milk or dairy keg of some sort, and was not familiar with where they had come from, and did not know if they had a specific name i.e. sankey, cornelius.
i'd like to find out what they are called so i can possibly obtain a couple to do keg sized 15 gallon homebrews.
if anyone knows what i am talking about, any help would be very much appreciated
thanks a lot,
dino
