I used two mini Kegs for my last brew. One was absolutely fine the other was a bit iffy . I put this down to the beer that had been in there previously. I hadn't cleaned it properly I believe or soaked enough so just tainted. It didn't taste that bad but not right.
I'll give them another go but probably a limited use of the kegs

Is there any way I can test them aside from having a good look inside with a torch?
I'm sure some clever soul on here will have a wonderful idea! They usually do
Re: Kegs.
I love these mini kegs, very convenient when way of storing beer without all the bottles taking up space in the fridge.
I have just ordered a corny kit and acquired a new Fridge that I will put in the garage, then I can keep these mini kegs indoors.
I think there will always be a place for these little kegs

Just a thought - you can buy cheap endoscopes nowadays - Toolstation has one for £20.Cobnut wrote:Not sure if there's anyway to test for rust.
