Beer Keg Fermenter... How to?

[J.Brew]

There is no reason why it wouldn't work and I've heard of brewers doing it before. Go for it.

Have you tried using a larger, softer O-ring on the lid like this? http://www.williamsbrewing.com/KEG_LID_ ... NG_P58.cfm

I have successfully use these on a couple of kegs that "absolutely wouldn't seal". YMMV.

After I worte the post reply, I took one more hard look at things from a whole different angle. I noticed a serious deformation in the entire top of the keg. I got it to seal with a 5lb sledge and a drift. I beat the shiznit out of it until it just gave up and acted right.
Sometimes a bit of pisstivity and 5lbs of steel will make things right.

It's amazing what can be accomplished with a BFH (Big F...n Hammer).
