'Draught' is not a beer style - it's a lifestyle
This is the discussion topic for article: Kegs and Keg Parts
http://www.northernbrewer.com/keg-repair-parts.html
This page contains a few pictures and info on what poppets fit what
I recommend it could be structured similar to:
Post Mix Kegs:
- Makes (including pics, measurements etc)
- Fitting Types (Ball lock and pinlock ... and different sizes)
- Spare Parts
- Availability / Cost
- Cleaning techniques
Commercial Kegs:
- Makes
- Fitting Types (CUB etc)
- Spare Parts
- Availability / Cost
- Cleaning techniques
Other Stange kegs: (E.g. wine kegs etc)
- Makes
- Fitting Types
- Spare Parts
- Availability / Cost
- Cleaning techniques
I realise this could cover a huge amount of information but it could however become the "Keg Bible"

Thanks Doc, I have emailed Damo to see what he can do. It is amazing how fast things happen when one starts asking around. I have found that the local BrewCraft agency stocks the 'mushroom' washers for the gas and dispensing post poppets, as well as the washer for the dispensing (long) tube. BrewCraft have a number of outlets in Australia so if anybody else is interested in furbishing the Mytton kegs it may be worth touching base with them.Try calling Damien at Whats Brewing in Kogarah Sydney.

He's got a box of old parts that surely must have some of those poppets in them. I know the ones you are talking about as a couple of my kegs have them.

jeez I would love to keg but for the hire & refill in West Australia of the co2 bottles it doesnt make it worth it
Hi All,
I have always used oxypur to clean my kegs after/before next batch. I have either misplaced or run out. I was wondering what everybody uses to clean a keg before kegging the next batch (Supermarket available stuff pls). I have one ready to go buck struggle to make my LHBS during operating hrs.
I was thinking some plain nappi-san? but not sure how that goes with stainless???
Thanks

I leave my kegs after they are finished under pressure till I want to refill them. Then I rinse them out with hot water from the tap till all muck is gone. Then put a kettle of boiling water in them and a wee dash of phosphoric acid and hook up the gas and pull all this through.
I reckon you could just go with the boiling water and you would be fine
