King Keg Tap

[almeidauk]

Hi

Still new to homebrewing - amazed at how good it tastes.

I have a king keg (top tap) and I am struggling with the tap. The tap seems to stick it is either fully closed or fully open.

I have another keg which is what I would refer too as a standard keg and the tap has a handle which seems far easier to operate & control the flow into a glass.

My problem with the king keg is that when I try to pour a pint I end up with the tap fully open gushing out beer, this results in a pint glass full of froth. I have tried replacing the tap & still have the same problem.

I do not have this problem with the standard keg. With the standard keg I find it far easier to pour a pint.

Is it possible to change the tap on the king keg to that of a standard keg ?

Has anyone else had this problem - how did you get round it?

Hope this makes some sense.

i know what your getting at, and im not sure you can change it.

the male part of the tube is a certain size to fit into the rear of the tap and im not sure if this diameter is standard.

i make sure that the pressure doesnt get too high, and if it gushes out when i pour i pinch the collar rubber near the gas inlet (this is the pressure release valve should it become over pressurised.

have a look when its empty and do a quick 'by eye' measurement and compare next time you get to the back of the levered tap.
