Not much info on these kegs it seems ,What i do know is they only made two sizes and that was a 9 gallon and an 18 gallon . It must be my eyes but i just can't see this keg as 80 Ltr . so i have a pic with it up against a typical cub keg. Maybe someone can confirm what they think the volume is , as there is no marking on the keg with the exeption of the manufacturer. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

That looks very similar to my mates cut up one for the cooker, i reckon it's 80L :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Also just looking at the comparison the liquid level on your big boy goes lower to the ground than the 50 and way above it at the top and its fatter :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Fill it up and measure it already :laughing-rolling:

What do others think? Has anyone actually got a 68L keg? :think:

I have one I scavanged that had been made into a fermenter.
It holds 70litres not including headspace and the top removed
Best fermenter I own.
Top score. :mrgreen:

Wow 12many how did you know it was my birthday soon?, you really shouldn't have but I love it!!! :D :teasing-neener: thats bloody beautiful mate, great score!! :handgestures-thumbupleft: . I reckon an easy way to measure it would be , have your hose set to a certain flow, time how long it takes to fill a litre bottle ect. Then just time how long it takes to fill the keg, do ya maths and your set. Thats if not hadn't thought of that already or have an easier way :shifty:

When I get to measure mine I was going to fill my 200L graduated fermenter with water and fill it up and see how much it takes :think:

Or use a 9L bucket?
