Or a tenner for a propane reg

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Yup. So it would be gas bottle/regulator. ---- gas line ------ propane reg ------ onto keg. Sorted!

I just use a normal regulator set to a low pressure although that is with a keg, not a cask.

Just collected two new 4.5g stainless steel pins from Kammac at the weekend http://kegandcask.co.uk/index.html - £55 each plus VAT so about twice the cost of the brewery plastics ones, but still pretty reasonable especially when compared to the cost of new cornies. They come with brewery name and serial numbers engraved and coloured bands as standard too. Really pleased with them. Looking forward to filling them now when my latest brew is ready...

They are great, if Theakstons hadn't of put the price up I'd have got another wooden one.

I'll PM you soon to discuss what I need / do.

Sorry to jump on the back of a thread, but in my case I use small cornies as my casks, I have a 7.5 litre and a few 9 litre kegs. I've cut off about 10mm from the dip tubes. I can usually get through one of these in a week so I haven't had to worry about storage. When pouring I open the pressure relief valve to allow air in to the keg as beer is being drawn off by the engine. I give the keg a blast of Co2 with the prv open to blow off any oxygen after serving, and close the prv when the tap is not in use. So if I want to use a standard sized corny keg, I would be better using a propane regulator or aspirator between the gas cylinder and the gas inlet of the keg, plus a demand valve between the liquid post and the beer engine? Similar to this one?

If my beer is over carbonated it flows straight through my beer engine at the moment.

Essential in my view, as it doesn't take a great deal of pressure to be forced through the hand pump. Ask me how I know.
