Does anyone know if these barrels would be any good for a kettle or HLT? They look like they have a red coating on the inside.

Re: 45 Gal. Steel Drums
unless it was stainless steel i wouldn't touch it.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

DO NOT USE THOSE FOR BREWING. 

At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter.
