Easy Keg 5L

Would you like a flake with that, sir? :lol:

You could try venting the keg. Leave the bung valve open for 12-24 hours

He has the tap in.

I saw that. I dont know a lot about the PS Tap, as I dont own one, so want sure whether you can remove it or not

I saw this on HBT on how to make a little mini kegerator for small cornies but I'm betting some of you enterprising forumites could adapt it to be used with a mini keg

That cool box is brilliant. I have seen mini kegs be used in hand pull pumps

Got any links? I'd be interested in having a look at that kind of thing, not that I'd be able to construct anything like that

No link. Seen pictures on a Facebook group. I will get some info.

It doesnt work. What's the group called I might be able to find it

 

[Leon103]

Beer sheds and mancaves. Join the group and search hand pull. Glenn parkes created the video.

Basically he vents the keg, pushes the centre bung through, feeds in the tube and then punches an hole in the top of the keg for air flow. So the keg is ten ruined.

This is brilliant! Great intuition.

Apparently you don't need to put another hole in the keg. I would say you would need to drink the whole keg in one sitting though.

 

[MyQul]

That would mean either drinking 9 pints or sharing beer. Neither of which I'm prepared to do :lol:

I think these people with beer sheds have parties every weekend so nonissue for them

Would something like this be able to made into anything with an adapted bung?

Maybe even a pump tap like you get on a boat or caravan

The second one looks interesting. Wonder if you could just stick it on a mini keg

I wish people wouldn't start rumours like this! :nono: :nono: :nono:

My missus wonders where all the beer goes already without someone putting ideas in her head that I might actually share it with someone!

Bit of a puzzler, I've been using my mini kegs for about 2 1/2 years now with no problems at all... until now
I have 9 kegs on the go with different brews but my last 7 or 8 kegs have been total froth bombs. I'm not talking the first couple of pints being a bit frothy it goes right to the bottom of the keg, each pint is a pint of froth that I leave to settle and end up with about 3 inches in the bottom of the glass. This weekend I got through 3 kegs and wasn't even slightly pissed, spent more time walking to the fridge. Thing is the beer tastes fine and I haven't done anything different to the dozens of times I've done it before. Also I split the brews between kegs and barrells and the bottles are fine
I'm starting to think that the kegs have come to the end of their lifespan, the outsides were going slightly rusty on the surface so I Plastikoted them months ago so maybe the insides are shot too?
Anybody have any ideas before I skip the lot?
Am thinking of buying a new one and giving it a try to see if that works out ok
Any help much appreciated

What tap system do you use.

 

[sausagefingers]

Party star, don't even have to give it a blast with the co2.

I bookmarked this homemade mini keg tap idea recently.
