My main concern would be the the shavings from drilling. How did you know that the keg did not contain any when you went to fill it with beer? I love the idea, and plan on doing this really soon.
I filed down the valve stem smaller than the rubber gaskets and made the hole in the top of the keg smaller (same size as valve stem)so that when the rubber squeezes it is compressed and it forms a seal
Nice tutorial. I am wondering if I could have just a single valve stem, remove its core, add the beer and then connect the Co2 regulator? Also, I am wondering if it would fit into a Heineken beer dispense with the regulator. Thank you.
Sorry for the delayed response,not sure on the dispenser,however yes two valve stems are needed one to liquid fill and one for air pressure release,now if you had say the other style kegs with the plastic push top then you can use just one valve stem for the co2,Thanks for watching..!
