I recently got a free keg that I'm working on turning into a fermentor, but I'd like to figure out what style of keg it is first. It is from the old Olympia brewery.
It is cask shaped with a bung in the side half way down. No valve at the bottom, but an unfamilar connector on top. It's not the golden gate style that you normally see on the cask shaped kegs.
The top connector is about the diameter of a #10 bung with two holes about the same diameter as a standard racking cane. One is connected to a dip tube. The connector isn't threaded but appears to be part of the keg. It is located dead center on top in a little recess, and there are two horizontal posts between the connector and the inside of the recess.
There is also a cover for the connector which has a rubber coating on the inside and can be screwed/locked into place over the connector. Both holes are still accessible but there is an air seal due to the rubber. I can take a picture when I get home but I'm hoping this rings a bell for somebody and I can figure out what sort of tap it takes and if this might aid me in turning it into a fermentor.
Thanks!
