Would it be possible to make a water tank with an aluminum/stainless
steel beer keg. I guess the only issue is will the keg handle pressure
of a home water system

Thank you,

Anything is possible. Practical and sensible are different though.
Depends on the use. It will not take the place of a Weltrol pressure tank
if that is your intention.

Why would you replace beer with water??!!!

That, sir, is alcohol abuse........

heh. I found out that a beer keg can only hold 60psi so still not sure
it's a good idea.

I fail to see what you would accomplish. Yes, it should hold common
household pressures but the volume of useable water (the draw-down)
would be so small as to be impractical in use.

I was going to make a small water heater.

I was thinking about makeing a water heater tank out of one but at 60
psi max on a keg isn't enough but I did find an atwood 10g heater tank.
I will probably use it with an electric element and heat exchanger
connected to a wood stove. I just want a small tank heater that I can
use on generator power. My tankless unit requires too much power.

Isn't it a sacrilege to put water into a beer keg? : )
