I bought a beer sphere off ebay a while back second hand and noticed the outside had a little dent in it but it didn't go through to the inside of the keg. Anyway Iv got my Nelsons revenge in there now and beer is leaking from the same place. I think it has slowed down because the beer that has leaked out seems to have kind of caramelised and is partially blocking the hole.
Iv just tried the tap and there is still pressure inside. I dont want to bother around with sending it back as the keg itself was only a couple of quid and the postage £8. Do you think I could fix it if I superglued some plastic over the hole or something?
My keg has a hole in it :(
Don't see any reason why not
Probably better to do it when the keg is empty. Having said that, the beer that has dried at the bottom of the keg is asking for bacteria to grow on it.
I'd be tempted to try and repair from the inside. If you superglue from the outside now I would imagine you'll have to repair from the inside anyway. You'll need to be able to allow your cleaning'sanitising solution to get into all the nooks and crannies.
Drink your beer responsibly fast
and repair after.
Not sure if superglue will leach into the beer though...Daab.
You could always plastic weld :ph34r:

I always thought super glue (cyanoacrylate) was toxic but a check on the web appears to say this is not the case. Apparently a modified version is used to glue wounds together to avoid the need for stitches! Having said that, it appears that about 5% of the population can become sensitized to cyanoacrylate fumes after repeated exposure.
I wonder therefore why there is always a Toxic warning on the back of super glue tubes? Perhaps some super glues have additional additives that make them toxic.
