    this is correct I will accept warranty claims on this issue, Im still currently in discussions with the manufacturer about the exact problems and solutions, once I have some solid answers from them I will know how to proceed. they are doing some tests and going to trying some new things on...

    Yeh it is disappointing that it seems to be the steel/welds thats the cause. and will be chasing it up with the manufacturer, thankfully for most it isn't an issue, but extremely unlucky for a couple with the issue, and those ones need to be replaced.

    just the ball lock spear by itself in its box with spare seals weighs in at 490g on my scales, if you wants plastic disconnects and a bumby tap to go with it then its 800g

    Problem Discussion Thread: Mini Keg Regulators

    Hi guys thanks zorco on helping the forum guys out with this. these faulty regulators have been a nightmare, I would of expected 2 or 3 dodgy ones but between the ones i have sent to batz and the china and sitting at the shop im at about 15 or so, and would like to get a count on how many more...

    Mini Keg Bulk Buy MKIV

    A) like yob said depends on the pressure, if you get the pressure right, the brumby taps dont have a problem. B )i have used the disconnect head more than the bar head, I might of been doing something wrong but I found it better to just find the sweet spot on the regulator and not use the flow...

    Mini Keg Bulk Buy MKIV

    Has anyone got neoprene jackets for the mini kegs they already have? how well do they work? when trialling the sample I got in they only helped slow warming by 2 or 3 degrees an hour compared to no jacket, not sure if it was just me not giving it a good enough test or not, but thought I wouldn't...

    yes the SS disconnects are shorter, looks like about 25mm difference, in the photo it is a 2L mini keg the plastic one is about 410mm tall, the SS is about 385mm tall. and your tap sits at a different angle.

    the image attached shows the spring i have used to auto close the bumby taps, they are poppet springs. they are a little stiff but do the job. as far as i know the mini kegs in this bulk buy from The Beer Can, are the same dimensions and thread as iKegger and BeerKat, the doubled walled 2L...

    Mini Keg Bulk Buy MKIV

    been playing around with a couple of the faulty regs, I dont know much about how to fix them, I am going to send a couple of them back to the manufacturer so they can stop it from happening in the future and help supply a solution. I will also try get one to Batz, or if someone is in his area...

    Hi guys Sorry i haven't been keeping up to date in here, this is puzzling to hear about the 5L all holding different amounts, I just threw 5L of water in two of the ones at the shop and both filled it with about 55mm of head space to the very top on the neck. they all looked and felt the same...

    looking at some of the ones i have in the shop, the PRV can be tightened and loosened with your fingers, no need for pliers, well at least not on the couple i tested. Just use your fingers and unscrew the base of the PRV dotn use the ring to screw it. and check everything looks ok and then screw...

    Hey guys just a reminder to tag 'The beer Can' on Facebook in any photos you take with the unit. I have a sneaky suspicion that which ever photo gets the most likes before new years will get some sort of PRIZE!!!! Good Luck
