That is a good start. > Jeg har et lille problem som jeg ikke helt ved hvad eg skal gøre ved. > Jo det ved jeg men på hvilken metode.

Is that original from the time ti was used for milk, or some silly later modification. In my opinion that sort of paint will make the container pretty much unsuitable for food production, ever. It may be possible to remove the paint, but it will be a hell of a job, and probably will leave little scratches that collect dirt and bacteria... Instead of all the trouble, why don't you check what Brygladen charges for a socalled Cornelius keg. That is what almost all of us home brewers use, when we don't bottle. It should not be many hundred kroner, and it is designed for beer, guaranteed to handle the presures involved, and not to leak. As to the tap, you can start with Brygladen's "picnic" tap. It connects directly to the Cornelius keg, had something like 20cm of tubing, and a simple tap in the other end. Does not look fancy nor professional, but does the job pretty well. Another alternative is to buy a few of those 5 liter kegs Irma sells, drink the beer, and reuse them. I hear people have good experiences with them. Maybe you can buy them empty for the deposit, just a few kroner. Do you have a big pot to boil the stuff in? That is usually the major problem beginners have. You can use the same pot for fermenting the stuff - it is actually safer to do so, as there is less risk of infection when you do not transfer the beer over. What kind of beer are you after? These days you can make almost anything, from pale pilsners to English Ales to belgian Abbeys. Good luck with it. Do not hesitate to ask if you need more advice. Better do it on the lsit, both as a check (they'll be glad to correct me if I give strange advice), and to share with other beginners who may be wondering, but haven't got around to asking.
