JayD's Boiler Build...

by **JayD** » Sat May 04, 2013 7:00 pm

here is a new boiler i've been working on. I had this keg for a while and it starred in my how to remove a keg spear video, i think it's starting to come together very nicely. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Here it is untouched...

Very nice mate :handgestures-thumbupleft: , what sort of keg is it?.

That's going to look great when it's done :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Do you TIG weld ?

They are legs for the keg so I can slip my burner underneath with out the need for a stand, I'm still making up my mind will I make them adjustable or just weld them on as is.. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Take note of the top (spear) and the screwdriver, I'd say it's a CUB keg ;-)

I was thinking.it looks like.a.cub, mine has a star sort of shape around the top, I couldn't see it on that keg. Do cub have different types?
