Lion introduces "Tap King" - party keg / growlers

[luckyphil61]

just ordered my tap king ,looking forward to filling the bottles with my own HB , maybe someone should sell the conversion kits ie driver bit ,replacement screws ,co2 bottle and instructions :beerbang:

 

[driftdaddy]

Ok guys, we have lift off!!

I grew impatient and tapped one of my re-filled Tap King bottles.

The result of the first pour.......

Pretty happy with the results.

Also thought I post some picture of the CO2 cartridges.

The right hand cartridge is the Paintball one, left hand is obviously the standard Tap King one. A couple of small differences but not enough to stop it from sealing.

Nice work! Care to write up a complete guide?

Good work driftdaddy. May have to give this a go to see how it works!

 

[luckyphil61]

what are the size of the screws to replace ,i presume they are metric

 

[breakbeer]

driftdaddy, didn't you bottle that only a few days ago?

Yeah, Sunday..... Like I said, curiosity got the better of me.

 

[breakbeer]

:lol:

at least you know it works.

got any pics of the triangular screws by any chance? I reckon I might have the right tool for it already

 

[AJ80]

Naturally carbed that quick?

As a self declared idiot when it comes to pulling things apart and not getting them back together again, I'm also all for a 'how to' guide for this. Preferably with a few photos and a break down of what you need!

Well done driftdaddy - you're a pioneer.

Dismantled one last night. The triangle screws just need a 1.5mm Allen key to unscrew them

 

[Amph]

Nice.. I went out and got one before checking if they could be re-used.. Glad to see they can..

For anyone with a small metal lathe, this might be an option for the CO2 bulbs:

Breaking News: Man blows his own face off in an accident involving a metal lathe and a CO2 cartridge

Yeah so $1 a cartridge doesn't seem like that big a cost....

Fantastic stuff driftdaddy, now I just need to wait for the promised bottles to come to me.
