Keggle Dimensions?

Post by Becky » Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:59 am

Can anyone give me the following dimensions of a keggle:

Inner Height:
Outer Height:
Outer Diameter:
(I'm assuming the inner and outer diameter are the same on a keggle because there's no lip at the top of it?)

I don't have the exact dimensions, only the measurements I need to cut out to make out to make a BIAB bag. But with the new style, I need specifics!

Thanks! :cheers2:

And as exact as possible would be good - don't want measurements pulled off a website :D

You should probably get a few of them, as there will be some variation.

I'll get you something after work if nobody comes across.

They also have the lip on the inside of the top, which could vary quite a bit

You mean if someone cut a hole in the top of it vs. cutting the top of the entire keggle off?

The outer diameter is the one the matters the most because I make the bags to fit the largest part, so that the bag can fold over the top.

you know, it would've been much easier on you if Jimmy had kept one of his kegs :D
