Well I hope he still has them / someone can actually pick them up. 150 kegs on the market just might just lower the prices of corny's back to a reasonable level again - although I`ve noticed fleabay process slowly decreasing.

Cool, if shipping to Denmark isn't to expensive I'll have some.

Well done that man, I trust they gave you a tour of the brewery while you were there?

Have you worked out prices for them yet?

Cheers

Hi,

I had a look round, they are really nice folk .

I haven't worked out any prices yet - I need to consider how to deconstruct them, with reference to your guide.

There are a couple of ways that I see of doing it....

Either with a spanner (homemade proto type stage at the moment) or by cutting two flats across the coupler + large spanner (cuts denoted by tape)

Assuming I aquire some, I'll be choosing the "socket" route as it means that you wont be cutting/weakening the spear cap - I have some aluminium tubestock that should fit the bill nicely indeed :)

To save anyone asking about the aluminium I used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151084820227? 4" 3/16 thick
however it needs to be ground down on the outside to fit between the black plastic handles and coupler.

NOTE:- I don't have a working keg anymore ( destroyed it during my original post to see how it worked) so am ASSUMING the spanner will work.
