ok well I had a go today and it worked our really well.
They pinged back as i made the last cut.



a couple of elements from argos, 45 litres took just over an hour with lid off, but kegs need insulating.



Plastic fermentor lids work well and handles stay cool even though barrel is cooking.



and a second one for my boiler, just need to get them polished up now and haden elements and drain installed in my boiler

Noticed that by trimming down the kegs like that you get rid of some incriminating data!

If you are going to lag them then no need to polish them??

Circumcised kegs?

They look cool 8-)

You're fairly handy with the angle grinder Credit to ya.

I did a job on mine yesterday. Thought now would be a good time as the brewing demo is in a bar & I wouldnt want my kegs getting mixed up with theirs 
Cleaning & pouring is much easier & they look cool now too. No more hops stuck in the skirting.

Cool. I'll swap you for the yeast ! Are the tops  in good nick ?

[Hop Bomb]

Sounds good. Tops are grand but they werent cut well enough to use as lids. I cut them free hand.
