i bought a king keg barrle top gravity feed a few years ago & never had a decent brew out of it.
i've tried 5 different times every time i dont get a decent build up of pressure the float some how all ways seems to up end its self so when i turn the tap on i just get the presser gushing out.
its cost me a fortune brewing in this thing with having to buy gas just to finish the barrle off after i've fixed the float.
i wished i never bought it i've bought all new seals floats & a key to make sure the cap is tightly close.
i should have got a bottom tap barrle.

i was just wondering has any 1 els have had trouble with theses barrles or any tips on how to use.

Hi, have you tried putting a stainles steel counter weight on the bottom of your float to stop it turning over.

i've been back to the shop with it 3 times & each time i get conned into buying sommat els for it like new rubber seals.
the float as well i told them about it & all they said was a lot of people are having trouble with them floats so i ended up buying or conned into a new float.
this barrle is 1 of the most exspensive on the market & i would'nt reckomend any 1 to purchase 1 of these.
i think i'll get just an basic ordinary barrle from wilko's at least when the pressure runs out i can just open the cap & still get a drink with out having to pump a bottle of gas into it.

Hi, i use Boots barrels and i adapted a Sparklets valve and tapped a pipe into the barrel cap. I then screw the gas canister into the valve press the lever and hay presto!! the canisters last for ages.
P S, the Boots type have a tap on the top with a dip tube to the bottom of the barrel.
