Guinness keg fermenter

[Twhitcomb314]

Has anyone converted a Guinness keg into a fermenter? A standard American keg can be converted using 2'' TC fittings (see below) but I'm having trouble finding something that will work on a Guinness keg. I'm hoping to have a thermowell in addition to an airlock. Any ideas would be appreciated.

People won't work on it because it belongs to Guinness.
You could just get the grinder out and use a bung like this guy:

You wont be able to use a TC fitting. The flange at the top of the spear connection is too thick to take the seal and fitting within the clamp.

If I want both a thermowell and an airlock drilling my own stopper might be the only option. A 10.5 stopper works. I just can't find a predrilled 2 hole version.

Get bung, get drill, combine.

Also, you'd probably get a warmer reception if you were to introduce yourself as CH so elegantly suggested.

Elegant me? Surely some mistake
As Eoin says straight in no kissing is not best approach we are all nosey feckers and want to see how you brew and recruit you for our local clubs.
