other corny uses

Sat Feb 23, 2008 9:22 am

I thought I'd start a fun thread.

I've used cornys for carrying hot water, tranferring wort, storing grain, fermenting in, freezing eisbocks in, wrapping immersion chillers around and a ton of other uses. Not just fermenting beer in.

What crazy things have you used cornys for?

I use mine as a drum set sometimes when I get drunk! :lol:

I have also used them as anchors to hold down tarps and such.

They also make half ass'd seats...literally!

I used some of my cornies as saw horses when I was putting a peg board in the brewery. My old neighbor used an old, severely dented keg for a swing for his daughter.

Used to have one that had a bad leak. We filled it with cement and used it to anchor a swim platform out at the lake (along with a couple other assorted anchors.)
