FREE BEER FOR ASSISTANCE ON KKTT

Post by escapizm » Wed Oct 28, 2009 9:47 pm

[-o< I’m at my wits end and would like to appeal to my friendly knowledgeable "local" colleagues here on JBK! I have come to the end of the road I feel of by career as a bottler and would like to move to barrels, I’ve got a King Keg Top Tap (I have a King Keg Top Tap with original float, Hambleton Bard Cylinder and a Sparkler Tap Fitted, the barrel was bought of eBay of someone whom had never used it and came with wherry kit, airlock, FV bucket etc etc) which I’ve tried several times to seal (as listed in my many posts for those interested to read of my frustrations) employing all the great advice I’ve received on here. The problem is despite attempts to seal the lid with vaseline etc it still leaks :cry:

If anyone was willing to help me I can offer by way of trade for advice/assistance received the following.

A plastic beer crate for 12 bottles
Twelve 500ml brown beer bottles originally of Bitter & Twisted origin all filled with GW's Timothy Taylor Landlord which is proving a little stubborn to clear. I would love to offer a better brew but that’s all i've got at the moment, i've tasted it and its ok despite being only 3 weeks old just is struggling to clear. :x

You can either come to my home (Normanby) or I can bring the barrel to you in the Middlesbrough/Darlington area [-o< or whatever you wish!

Please help, I'd like to up my beer production and need an easier life (2 kids below 2 yro and SWMBO) and less time than I have to clean bottles.

Unfortunately I am nowhere near Middlesbrough or I would help you out but as I have not seen your previous post on this subject I would ask a question.

Does the lid of the Keg have a rubber O-ring seal in the groove?

I cannot see how a keg with the seal could leak.

Have you got pictures of the lid? Inside and out?
