Hi all,
I'm fairly new to the kegging scene and I've managed to get a couple of cheap second hand 3gal corny kegs. Unfortunately I assumed all posts/disconnects were interchangeable across kegs and didn't stop to think to check it when I picked it up.
After doing a bit of research it looks like the kegs have actually been modified and a different liquid post has been welded on. I've measured the thread size (roughly 18-19mm) so it looks like a John Wood Type 85 pin lock post has been put onto the kegs, though I'm not 100% confident. As I have a fridge setup for corny kegs, ideally I'd like to be able to replace the pin lock posts with a ball lock post to easy swap out the kegs. Does anyone know where I can get the post, or if it will even be possible to get one to work with a corny ball lock disconnect? Otherwise if someone knows where I can get a suitable pin lock disconnect so I can rig up an adapter to work with the fridge.
Cheers,
Nick
