Barley Belly's Maiden Biab Brew Day

Awesome, gotta get one.
Now, how did you remove the urn tap and with what degree of difficulty?

That's the thing that has always deterred me from attempting to fit a ball lock.

I'd read they were hard to get off. Mine came off relatively easy with just a spanner on the inside nut ( didn't even need one the the outside).

Then the thread of the old tap is 1/2" BSP, I wanted stainless threaded pipe and are planning to get some but all I could lay my hands on at short notice and relatively cheaply(ie free) was brass. So no need to drill a hole.

1 x 3 piece staino ball valve $24
2 x staino backing nuts $5.50
1 x 1/2" staino barb $5
2 x nylon washers $3

add a bit of thread tape and the job was done
