What kind of kegs are those? Thinking I could probably use those to keg a braggot mead (half mead/half beer)IIPA: og was 1.070, fg came to 1.004. Tested a new recipe using no crystal malts and it turned out killer.

They are called Cornelius kegs, firestone kegs, or Pepsi kegs depending on who you talk to. Very popular for homebrewing. They are about $65/ea online here:

Check your local Craigslist though.

I always heard them as Corny Kegs
Oh yeah, that too and probably more often. The Pepsi kegs are what they refer to as "ball lock" which is the post type. There are Coke kegs out there that are "pin lock" posts and they are not nearly as desirable and harder to get parts for. Once you have the kegs you are going to need lines, connections, faucets, a regulator, and a co2 tank. It's a bit of an investment but is worth it if you ask me.

Be nice if I could keg a batch for hbh
That would be awesome. Take a rolling trash can and mount a faucet on the side. Boom, portable redneck kegorator
Knocked out what was intended to be a 80/- that wound up being under volume and will probably wind up being a Wee Heavy. Og of 1.065 and smells so good
1.065 down to 1.012 in a week. Smell and taste of acetaldehyde (green apple) hoping that bumping the temp and letting clean up a week takes care of it.
Oh yes, I rarely ever secondary and it's only been going about a week. It's not overwhelming, but it's there. Something I get more with English and German yeasts than the cleaner American counterparts. I know it will clean up, it's just a matter of how long the yeast wants to take.
Brewed an Irish Red on Monday and finishing up my second batch of NE IPA now. Already down to the last keg of the first batch it's crazy how fast people blew through this. It's damn near as fresh as when it was first tapped!
Beautiful color on the red...

Bottling my cyser mead 16% and racking my local show honey mead 12%. Enjoying some bottom of the barrel cyser that's a bit to cloudy for bottling.
34x 22oz bottles worth of cyser
