Keg Bain Marie??

In our view 30 gallons and under is considered hobby size. Do not bring anything larger than this to our site.

Keg Bain Marie??

Post by Guerilla Distillah »

Anybody ever seen a DIY BM setup for a 1/2BBL Sankey Keg? Would love some input from the fellow DIY geeks.

Thanks

I reached out to a keg company that manufactures kegs, and I'm waiting for an answer as to whether or not they can manufacture one minus the lower chime( ring shaped support stand welded to each end)
Even if that is a viable affordable option, it's still leaves me a little perplexed as to what to use as a Bain Marie type heat source around the now not cylindrical but rather egg shaped bottom of the keg. Suggestions?
