I have been out on the yot and today I encountered a technical issue which I have never had to deal with in all the decades past. I hauled a beer keg out of the river near Henley. It was a bugger. About 40kg I could not lift it straight out had to pull it over side of yot. Lock keeper said its a firkin. I said firkin elle !! TeChnical issue is how to extract the beer ? This is the offending item  I wanted a beer keg for a diesel heater fuel tank but it seems rude to wasted the contents ! |

I'd taste the beer you'll know if it's the off. No water will have got in if its sealed i.e. No holes in the metal.

I don't think its full of water.
Seems to be intact but got me wondering how it got in the river.
I suppose if they were delivering to a Riverside pub and a barrel goes in then insurance says leave it ?
I tried to push the seal down but it won't move. There is pressure.
I have had them out before empty and usually you can push the seal down.

I think it's full of beer, shoved overboard from a party boat by a wag playing at depth charging submarines. 👍

It seems to have been there a while though. I'm going with the wise peterboat on this Anyway beer comes in cans from shops run by slimy Indians. |

Knock the bung out, like letting a fire extinguisher off its fun for about 30 seconds.
Once the geyser dies down you may have a pint or two of drinkable beer.
Once all avenues of entertaining yourself with it are exhausted drop it off at a riverside pub, kegwatch and all that.

I'd taste the beer you'll know if it's the off. No water will have got in if its sealed i.e. No holes in the metal. I agree, a full gas cylinder has enough buoyancy to float. No reason the contents should have suffered, the beer will have also been kept reasonably cool too. |

All in all, if it's been kept properly....London Pride isn't too bad a pint.
