What Post Size for Corny Kegs?

Are you saying the disconnects don’t fit on the posts? Ball lock posts and disconnects should be universal.

Might be worth putting some silicone grease on the o rings on the posts as sometimes they get a bit sticky.

Also metal disconnects can expand and contract with temperature - try putting a cold metal disconnect on a warm keg post and it can be too tight.

I'll try it. I've got some brand new O rings to fit.
It just seems like it's far too tight.

I mean, don't get me wrong, on the Fermzilla, they're very, very tight, which is what I'd expect. But these are ridiculously so.

OK, so answer is.... they're a ridiculously tight fit. Needed a rubber mallet to get them to sit right.
And yes, I've replaced the O rings now on all the posts (and the insides).

Just ordered some lube, mind.

Can anyone suggest what psi these need to be kept at? I believe they need to be kept under pressure.

How much force is needed to remove the then ?? Some of mine can be a bit of a pain but you shouldn't need to resort to hammers !

I use the Dr Hans carbonation calculator.
Then for serving I normally set to about 10 PSI but you may need to reduce that depending on your beer line and tap setup.
