    Lion introduces "Tap King" - party keg / growlers

    I've owned 2 tap a draft systems (dont ask) and neither of them performed terribly well. When screwing in the co2 bulbs, it was hit or miss if they'd actually screw in far enought to fire. I bought one for my dad (an avid home brewer and wine maker) , who used it once and didnt bother with...

    Got the receipt in the mail today. THANK YOU! You saved me some money, but more importantly, you stopped me from getting in trouble from SWMBO ;) . You're a bit naughty leaving your return address off the envelope tho because I was going to send you scratchies as a thank you :) :beer:

    You're an absolute champion! I've worked the old credit card a bit lately so I wasnt looking forward to the eye rolls from the wife when I had to tell her I needed another tap. PM on its way. Thanks again, its very kind of you. :beer:

    Oh thats very kind of you, thank you. I'm in Hurstville. I pulled out all the screws I could see, but it still seemed quite well stuck together still. haha. I'm usually quite mechanically minded so perhaps I haven't had enough beers today. :p

    Nope, its empty and flat again. I have a leak somewhere and of course, I didnt keep my receipt. I'm ebarrased to say that I'm even having trouble pulling apart the tap to see whats going on in there ... -_-

    I've had two fail to fire now which have been store bought ones, not HB. After the first glass, it barely dribbles out so I'm not sure how far you'd get with no cartridge. I just opened up one that failed and the CO2 had been pierced and emptied. I didnt notice any gas escape when I first...

    The tap a draft comes with a little plastic thingo that goes over the intake tube in the bottle to keep it a few mm off the bottom of the "keg" to reduce sediment. Wonder if a similar mod would help us...

    Sorry, can we just quickly summarise the "unmodded" situation? Are the 12g bottles from here http://www.ezychargers.com.au/index.php?cPath=51&osCsid=3gs4j5nr9pfvs9fupn4s6q8991currently working to dispense HB? I want to mod mine to take 16g but I have a batch that desperatly needs bottling so...

    I'm wondering if I should just stop drinking so many of these little kegs (trying to stock up empties) and just go the kegerator :p

    Thanks very much. I must have missed that link. Looks good, i'll grab one I think. Not so much because I want to save money on the co2, but because I'm not sure how often you'll be able to take the parts out of the TK lid to replace the bulb without killing screws and seals. A learning...
