    Getting S30 cylenders

    I have heard that Hambelton have sold out to BrewGas and there is another valve L30. What is the diffrence between S30 and L30. Are they interchangeable?

    If this is the Balliihoo replacment cap, how can you use an S30 on it? What is the diffrence between L30 and S30?

    I agree KY not funny, but booza101 said "I replaced my 2inch cap on my kk with one of those 2inch balliihoo caps". I think he means A youngs keg. KKs are 4 inch. I have startef the brew. Hopfull after 2 days in the KK, I should see some form of life.

    Getting S30 cylenders

    Hi. I used to get my supplies from home brew on line based in York even S30. Most suppliers wont ship these. No it is gone I have to travel up to 200 miles across the UK to get a replacment. Do anyone (in UK) use these and how do you cope with the problem. Using the green soda syphone bottles is...

    Well I use petromium jeel but could chang over to food grade grease. Being using it for decades. Would you use food grade grease under the valve washer or not? Going to start a brew today.

    Okay. I will start tomorrow and leave it a few days to check the tap for any signs of life and I will get the key fob digital meter. If there is any activity the presure will rise also. Will get back to you if their are any problems. Just though of rubbing the washer in vegitable oil first. The...

    Okay but I don't have a pin on top of the Valve. It was removed for S30 use. https://www.balliihoo.co.uk/digital-pressure-gauge-for-control-cap?gclid=Cj0KCQjwwISlBhD6ARIsAESAmp7FlaZ8DJU3LfP-fxG07AohOwPQo1I3M380ihynas4DMa6MeHP6TyEaAqT0EALw_wcB "For Monitoring Pressure In Any Barrel Fitted With A...

    No. I had it on my Hambelton keg which I had for 20 years. Can't get it to work on the KK.

    No. This is something else. I had on my old Hambelton Bard beer Sphere 20 years ago which had a guage on the keg. The ones on the CO2 are not done properly. The one that measures the presure delivered would be better on the keg. What would happen if you needed to disconect the gas to put on...

    Hi. Thanks for everyone here who have helped. I am going to do this again with the KK with the black washer under the lid as Buffers brewery states. I never saw this in the instructions (what instructions). I have a collection of beer kits as I am getting to old to go down the grain root. I have...

    So I can use the KK float. That sounds good. As for the black washer. I tried to get replacment washers for the KK but you could only get the black washer if you got the lot. not individual like the others. I got thick washers simiular to this below in the UK. like the link below. I thought they...

    Okay. Now we are talking. 1: I put the black washer on top. 2: never heard of cold crash. 3: does the steel tube go right to the very bottom? 4: can I use the float from the corny keg in the Corny? Seems like I could get the KK to work and not bother with the Corny. What you are saying is...

    If I left it in my fermentation bucket for 6 days it would be flat. How about putting it in the Corn and with a small amout of pressure let it clear. Then syphone it into another corn or back into the fermening bucket. Wash out the corn and put it back in nice and clear.

    Buffers brewery: The leak on the keg was the top injection section. It has a black washer that you have to screw down with a metal cylinder and a nut on top. I even tried getting thicker washers from amazon with the wides centre and stainless steel washers to stop the original washer from...

    Okay Baron that is the first part. 1) Beer outlet tube (plastic?) goes down to the bottom where the sediment is. 2) Gas cylender has to be a large hospital style and not an S30. 3) The regulator and meters are on the Gas. No mesurment of the keg. If I remove the empty gas cylender or have to...
