Are you sure that's not a stainless steel keg?

Most of those ones I used to lug around in the bar cellar were steel.

Looking at the gouge marks and welds it's ally. Old clinker ship's lifeboat round the back of Great Britain in Brisl.

That might prove to give rise to some problems. I wonder if it would be possible to tap a thread into the bung rather than welding.

I wondered why they put the inlet at the bottom, putting it at the top would have been more failsafe.

Yes, me too. I would use that one for the outlet. How about stand it on end, weld up the side outlet, use the bung for the filler, tap small holes for fittings.
