Not suitable for food here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Threaded-10-x ... 2577baef3e

Damn! They are a good price too. should be easy enough to locate some food grade ones. Hope I can get them at that price!

Seller got back to me about these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123

Said they aren't suitable. Said there was a small amount of oil in them from the manufacturing process. Wonder what type of oil...

At least the beer will get you well oiled

This guy states that his cartridges are food grade:

Can confirm that all the Co2 from this supplier is food grade

If fitting the tap is tricky then why not put the tap in the lid and the valve in the body of the container towards the bottom (ie. near the top when the lid is near the bottom). Sort of thinking the container could be set up with a little tilt a bit like a cask on a rack.

I did just this with a 10L one and it worked well. Fits into the fridge too as it's length-ways.

Fitting the tap isn't that difficult really though. I've done 4 to date.

floydmeddler how are you finding them black taps at dispencing your beer?
im thinking of putting one of these together and just wanted to know what the taps like?

Sorry... Just seeing this. Yep, they're great. They do the job nicely and are pretty cheap.

[Scrumpy]

Nice I wonder how much pressure they can take safely...I think your next job should be to make a poor man's corny complete with dip tube and quick disconnects...

[floydmeddler]

Haha.

I had one of my kegs sitting at 9PSI comfortable for a week or so.

Hi Floyd,

I've tried building a jerry keg following your design (only using a 5L jerry), however, the taps keep leaking (the seal is not water tight).
I used the same taps as you in your first post and I've tried putting the washer on the inside & outside - neither method seems to work.

Any suggestions why the keg is leaking & how to fix it?

Thanks!

Food-grade co2? Co2 is co2 is co2 is co2.

Yes, but is the rest of the cartridge? Does it have some oil in it from manufacturing? Or other chemical present in the gas that make it unsuitable?
