The beer had to get in there somehow! I'm sure they didn't build the ball around the beer. More than likely, it was thru the bung and then the tap was secured in place. See if it unscrews or is secured in the hole with a sealant.

I think beer balls are disposable, the last one I bought I was 24, god what a party out of my van. I was young, dumb, and well you know the rest. I did things that I no longer do but it worked well for that. When filled with H2O and some things attached. God the memories, of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most. lol

Hello Charlie, I have two of these I plan on reusing for homebrewed beer..
The general consensus on doing this amongst regular brewers is that it is a bad method but I'm going to give it a try anyway.

There is a lot of info on the net about doing this, here is a video:

Whatever you do, do NOT use it as a volleball. Don't ask me how I know.

Especially since it was Sam's Octoberfest. Not particularly a boating beer, but it was damn good.

Our local lake patrol would have a field day with this. Nice design though.

Nice setup you have there Jerry!
I imagine you have a length of coiled copper tubing in the cooler.
I also have a corny keg and am thinking of cooling it with peltier's if that will even work
You are way ahead of me

I am:
very new at boating

Ayuh,.... I've got 1 I've had for over 30 years,...
I save my pennies in it...
At 'bout 1/2 full, I can't move it anymore...
Last time I dumped it, 'n cashed in the pennies, I think I got 'bout $30.00...
Maybe it was $40...
