C02 cylinders

Post by the red devil » Fri Oct 24, 2008 7:40 pm

I've got myself into a spot of bother. Needed to top one of my barrels up with gas as it's running low on carbonation. Went onto a well know homebrew site and saw they sold Sodastream C02 cylinders, so being in a bit of a hurry i went to my local supplier and bought one (£16+).
The barrel in question has an S30 type valve on the top (male thread). When i opened the seal on the soadstream cylinder i was horified to find it also had a male thread :oops:
Has anybody gone down this route :?: If so, is there a conversion kit :?:
Would appreciate any suggestions on this (apart form the obvious, not sure it would fit!!)

Its a pain, I had similar with "widget world" attattchments the other week.(Wasted £30 on cylinders and trying adaptors). The on-line shops dont seem to give any clarity in fittings. I have gone to Hambleton Bard cylinders which screw directly on to s30. Available from Hope & Grape The widget/soda-stream fittings are all different and picking adaptors on line I found pot luck. Got it sorted by trecking out to local home brew shop and taking fittings along with me.
