beza		What's the best keg filler?	04-09-2013 @ 15:18
I hit a pb today with a chest infection Member 3283, 1921 posts	Post Edited: 04.09.2013 @ 15:20 PM by beza I've got hold of a couple of kegs from me brothers local, I've had them filled with water and sprinted the garden a few times but from what ive read the average uk keg holds 88 pints and that's about 60k apparantly. What material would give you more weight? I thought about just filling them with concrete and letting it go off, but I'd like to have an idea the weight would be before doing it if poss. Ideally I'd like one keg to be about 100k and the other about 120, any cheap/simple ideas? Thanks in advance

my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5 672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq	I have one filled with cement that's ~100kg and another that's filled with gravel, know idea how heavy is other than it's more than 100kg. Have you tried pressing a keg that's half filled with water? That trickier than it sounds, the water sloshes about all over the place.

Member 2785, 205 posts SQ 300, BP 170, DL 335 805.0 kgs @ 168kgs UnEq	I've got one packed with sand that I battered into it. I keep it outside too so I think a fair old bit of waters in there. Weighs in just over 80kg.
