Is this a good keg for brewing in?

[CTS]

Hello all,

I found this keg on Kijiji and was wondering if it a good keg for brewing? I really don't know what to look for in a Keg, size, shape, etc.

Not ideal but it's been done.

I think those are typically called Golden Gate kegs.

That looks like a cask to me!

Looks like a side bung hole in the middle so not.

YEs, that's a Golden Gate. Not ideal for a keggle; no handles, barrel shaped, need to have bung hole welded over. Actually they are more suited to use as either their originally intended purpose or a fermenter. You can make a cradle to hold it in place and lay it sideways with the bung hole facing upwards. Stoppers of the appropriate size can be found.
