King Kegs

King Kegs





Up until now i have bottle my brews in a variety of bottles,
not always sucessfully (see Prison Hooch in a gin bottle).




My beer is reaching maturity in the fermenting bin and i want
to put this one in a keg.

Enter my Uncle who used to homebrew, he sold me two
King Kegs (top tap) that he hasn't used for 10 years.

So here they are, as sanitising is one of the most important things in homebrew, if you actually want your brew to mature into delicious beverages rather than an infected liquid thats going to leave you out of pocket and without a drink.









Between the two barrels i am hoping to get one ready to use, one of the taps is in two pieces and one of the barrels is without a float. As my local brewshop is closed down and i only have one set of seals, getting 1 out of 2 kegs functioning and clean in the next few days is my challenge.

So i am off to get some advice at http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/index.php

an excellent resource for homebrewers online.
