I'm sure Mac could provide the specs tho.

I know the keg I borrow off my mate for mashing and boiling is 80L :think:


Hey i may be wrong it is a visual thing side by side between the standard 50 ltr cub and the style of the bigger keg you have is the same as mine . But then i havn't measured mine either. :O)

Did you order one of Mac's? The second I saw those and the new gin baskets I had my credit card out in a flash. :)

Well here is a pic of my boiler next to my mates keg that he uses for his BIAB, probably hard to see but the small piece of angle sticking out has the increments marked on it and 80L is well below the lip.

Hard to call, but I will fill it up out of one of my marked big fermenters to make sure when I can :handgestures-thumbupleft:
