Genius 😊

What is the length in mm you have to push in the middle. Mine doesn't want to come out.

Very very.Gracias mister!

You doing everyfing very complicated

Mate .Australia thanks you.

Hi mate great video lots of information on my setup I have a demand valve and then the pump, but for some strange reason I’ll keep getting the constant drip out of the Swan neck. I don’t think it’s the diaphragm as I’m able to pull steriliser water through. No problem, but when I tried with beer it just had a constant drip thanks any help would be great

genius!

You left beer in the keg.....thats alcohol abuse!

If you lay the keg on its side before de-pressurising, presumably the spear would be out of the dregs so wouldn't spray the beer out.

Usually the S-type have a circlip stopping unscrewing of the main body when using a lug. There may be incuts around the top rim for removal of the circlip, but I managed to have one withoout this cut ins - I had to make my own using a dremmel with grinding disk - complete PITA.

BRILLIANT! One of the most creative solutions to a problem I have ever seen on TH-cam! More entertaining than the video itself was watching your thought process!!

You sir are a star! I’ve had a beer keg knocking around for a while and didn’t know how to approach removing the valve. Love your technique. But I’ve got a problem…. I’ve discovered the keg I got has a micromatic (A-type?) valve. It’s too wide for the cut down sealant gun. So tried clamping a piece of 18mm ply across the keg, with a nut set into the underside of the ply, then wound a big bolt in to press on the centre of the valve… but I bent the wood! 😳 Any idea how to depressurise and dismantle this style? Thanks 😊😊

Fantastic, real lateral thinking and application. Thank you!

Excellent video. Many thanks for sharing. Our local village hall bought a second hand beer engine a year or so ago which looks very similar to the one in this video. We haven't had the confidence to dismantle it - we just cleaned up the outside and sterilised the insides before using it. It has been working fine so far but, this week, has developed an issue whereby the pump "sucks back" the beer from the glass when the handle is returned to the vertical position after each pull. We can get round this in the short term by moving the glass down, away from the swan neck each time the handle is returned to vertical, and then putting the glass back when the initial output of air has been ejected on the pull down again but it would be nice to solve the problem. I do feel confident enough to attempt to dismantle the pump having seen your video but does the problem I've described sound like it could be the diaphragm or should I be looking for something else being the cause. Thanks again

Any one can answer this question? If you take the vale out can you put water in and use it as a water dispenser once it’s open

Sunshine wouldn't be so easy in Australian keg😂😂😂

Hi there, this looks a really nice build. Could I ask how big was your building in the end? I’m looking at doing the same and I wanted to get an idea/ sense of space

This was excellent. Thank you! Do you know if Asahi kegs have the same/similar type of valve? (And if your method would work?)

Where did you get the keg ? Where should we steal them from ?

Very helpful thank you

I just got 2 I want to use as a piggy bank. Good idea?

About to attempt my first Thank you for now lololol

Looks very nice and well constructed, really well thought out design as well, should give your hours of enjoyment for sure.....Pat

Genius! Excellent example of divergent thinking! Thank you!

M.Ate .your the man...cheers

If you have a warm greenhouse in summer the CO2 will help your plants grow better.

Condoms are too expensive.. Balloons are cheap.

If you put the keg On its side will that beer still come out?

That’s bang on 👍🏻

There’s children in Europe going to bed sober and you’re wasting beer😂

Genius idea

Awesome thinking, Sir... Rather than having to mess with the socket adapter and clamp system, you could just cut the two (blue) frame rails short enough for the rod to protrude the proper distance... Drill a small hole in the end of each rail and affix a 2 1/2 inch hose clamp or better yet, a thumb-screw style clamp to the end of the rails with pop rivets through the holes... Just clamp your tool on and pull the trigger. 🙂

Awesome video, I made your make shift caulk gun with ratchet extension and clamp with rags.. took my time, very slow and didn't shoot any beer out, just air, very easy to do and very helpful video.. getting that ring off was the hardest part

RLBS Ltd sell a seal kit for these - great video cheers

If you depressurise on its side or upside down then beer won't come out.

Great video -- Well described, easy way to remove the keg valve. I'll use your technique when loading kegs with my home made hard cider. This process will easily allow me to carbonate my cider using the CO2 system for the kegerator. THANKS!

Clever way to open a keg. Thanks

Wow, easy, thank you

Good idea, thank you

Fantastic work a treat 👏 thank you

Polish 👍👍👍

Need to get this for my kitchen at home 😂😂

Ill be filling my half barrels very soon now bc of this video forget pony kegs lol

Hi Where I can buy the same keg you got on the video 50l with thread around the valve please? Thanks

Thanks for the video... I've tried this but unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I'm doing it incorrectly. Please can I ask - do you need to press in the centre (beer) valve or just the outer ring?

far too messy there at the start lol. Put the keg on its side - voila, no beer escapes and the gas escapes in about a minute. In fact, it really is easy to jar a big screwdriver in to do that bit.

Nice!

This is the seal for a 1/2 pt. Pull pump, not sure if it is the same for a 4 pull.

It is designed for a rotary movement shaft, but because of the low speed, it works fine with linear movement

Hi, I have found a 3/8" x 3/4" x 1/4" nitrile (foodsafe) oil seal, on ebay for the cylinder top seal. It has been working with no sign of leakage for some time now. You are correct to say that spares are difficult to find, but as you have shown with your silicone diaphragm, a bit of thinking outside the box, often works. Hope this is helpful
