redneck transit / logistics....

Not really sure what to upcycle the beer keg into...
If I ever want to brew stuff like kambucha or tea, I might cut off the top of the keg, and turn it into a boiling machine...
Just add a spigot to the bottom and add some 9000 watt water heater elements to the inside, and now it can make stuff....

I saw other people turn them into rocket stoves or metal foundries, except I would use an oil drum for that, not a beer keg....
I got the empty keg for free cause I saw it by a dumpster.
The bikes regular top speed is 30 mph. With the trailer fully loaded with the keg i think it goes around 25mph... With the trailer empty I believe it goes 28...
The acceleration is a bit slower, cause F = ma, actually a lot slower, I basically took the mass x 2, so it accelerates at 1/2 the rate.

the peoples reactions though were pretty price-less, and i thought the whole endeavor was hilarious... very absurd.
There does seem to be 5 gallons of beer or something still left in it, but I will dump it out cause, who knows how long its been sitting out by the trash.

I heard beer makes a pretty good snail trap but I don't know. might be nice to give it a try if you have too many snails

they may be cool, but they ate all my potato and tomato plants leaves I planted, so 3/4 of my plants died.

You can make a pretty fine BBQ if you cut the keg in half.

It's always worth a few bucks at the recycle yard

nope, not a good idea. I am going to turn this into a brewing rig. Cut off the top, add a spigot to the bottom, and maybe some electric water heater elements to it... this way it can boil 15 gallons of water. If i ever decide to make a beer or kambucha distillery, i would use this tank.
I dont really want to make a bbq cause i can get them for free at the junk yard.

The best use is probably as a stand for a glass table. If your serious about brewing things like beer or distilling or nasty concoctions such as kambucha, you should look into something stainless steel.
