Step 3Cutting the Keg
Now you're ready to cut an opening in the side of the keg. Size and shape is up to you. Caution! Cut edges are sharp! Use gloves while working with these edges. I used an electric saber saw with a metal blade but you could punch a hole in the side to get started and use tin snips as well. There are some parts inside that you can now remove and toss.
Sanding or filing the edges to remove jagged burrs after cutting helps.
Next, cut about 8 slits in the top radially outward to first ring in the top of the keg - about 1 inch. Bend these tabs up vertically for the chimney collar (soup can) to fit over.
