What do I do with my Keg spear

Post by jon1163 »

Well I just stripped two kegs to make a boiler and Thumper. I remember reading somewhere someone posted save your keg Spears. I just don't know what to do with them. So besides giving them away to all my friends here on home distiller what would I do with these keg spears I have laying around? I would like to repurpose them, preferably with something to do with distilling.

Some ideas that I've come up with on the Fly:

Swords for my son
Potato gun barrel
Lawn darts

Go to the advanced search and put in spear and then dad300 for the author. You will find 2 pages of posts where he advocates using the spear for a condenser. Good stuff

remember there are weldless recessless triclamp ferrules that fit those keg spears perfectly.

I recently came into a couple dozen keg spears!

I intend to cut them into 1/4" wide rings and twist or fold them. Making a very easy type of Pall Ring for column packing.
