Hi there please can someone recommend a good pressure barrel?
I recently purchased one of the standard plastic pressure barrels with a tap on the bottom, the first one leaked through the tap seal so I had to take the beer out and take it back to get a replacement. However upon opening the barrel I found the replacement stank of stale beer, obviously I wasn't happy because this was supposed to be a new barrel. I continued though and sterilised the barrel then put my beer in in the barrel and within 30 minutes the barrel sprang a leak through the tap itself. The people I bought the a barrel off are giving me a refund and replacing my beer up to the amount of £7.00 as the beer was out of a starter kit from wilkinsons.
The pressure barrel I bought was the same as this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Home-Brew-Balli ... B001QOMJKS
I need a more reliable barrel though that doesn't leak.
