Bungs for Minikeg reuse

[DorsetDave]

Afternoon all

Anyone on here reusing minikegs?

I am struggling to source replacement bungs - Leyland homebrew used to sell them but don't now

Does anyone know of a UK supplier?

all help appreciated

cheers

I got some from Ali Express a while ago and they were about 37p each. Took about 3 weeks for delivery from China mind. Not sure if you can still get stuff from China at the moment.

They have a central plastic cup that you push into the keg when the pressure gets too low. Fish it back out and clean for the next use.

I did find that most mini kegs in shops at the moment are a pain to remove the existing bungs. I ended up having to use an auger bit to mill them out. Pulling with pliers just caused frustration and warping of the opening.

As a result, I've gone back to bottling because the effort outweighs the benefit.

Brew2Bottle have some in stock. I bought some from them a couple of weeks ago. Delivery was quick and postage costs reasonable.

Hi

There's still a few commercial kegs that use reusable bungs, Ghost Ship & Goblin Gold are two I've got recently (before lockdown). Keg of beer plus keg plus reusable bungs. What's not to like!

Still I get it... annoying not to be fully reusable.

Cheers
