That will work great as a cask for real beer. Any idea how many gallons it holds. I see pubs using that style kegs for their beer engine setups. Usually in firkin size though.

Hey Budrockdiesel,
I have a similar keg, but one with a built-in valve at the bottom side and (had) a vent valve in the top - Golden Gate, I believe they were called. But it too has that bung hole in the side. I've cut my top off, stainless-screwed handles onto the topsides, and have a great drain valve built-in - but have only found replacement wooden bungs for that hole. The bung in your picture looks (oddly) fairly modern, as in, nylon or silicone or such. Can you supply a close up of the bung itself so I might get some of the identifiers off there and find something more reusable like that? I know, I could have it welded shut, but don't know any ss welders around here.

thanks in advance.

Hey man, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I am sorry, I dont have a close up of the bung. I went to look for it and I must have tossed it in the trash. The company I work for has a lot of construction equipment and I had a little welding experience so I have tig welded the bung closed, but a drain collar for a ball valve, and put handles on it. I am in the process of building a burner for it that will cradle it (it dosnt sit very stable flat). A lot of people advised against it but I dont have cash coming out of my ass, I have time and free material and tool usage. Sorry about not having that bung for you.
