Looks like a D-Type coupler is required. Same as Carlton Draught and Fosters kegs.

Cheers,

Yob,
Thanks for arranging this - I haven't had the opportunity to sneak this past SWMBO, so it is still in the boot.

Thanks

Confucius say, when decompressing keg, lay it on it's side to avoid amber shower...

Another thing you can do is place a placcy bag over the spout before pressing down with a ball hammer or screwdriver to decompress.

Was suggested on 'Keg Spear Removal' thread by Domosura (Beer Belly) many moons ago and worked nicely for me.

The bag got the old beer, instead of me!

I found that tipping it on its side and then using a spanner (with one prong hooked under the 'lip' to leaver against the pressure) was much easier trying a hammer or screwdriver.
Not sure if the idea came from the old thread here or from YouTube.

It was an Aussie on you tube that did this with a spanner .
