Hey Guys,
Struggling opening an 'A' Type 50L keg.
Ive disengaged the spear so it drops down and hits the bottom.
But what ever i try i cant twist the top, if there a trick to doing this or should you be able to do it with your hands?
Cheers

as per a previous forum:
"I worked out the kegs.
They are the ones with the flat metal center and rubber ring in the center.
You push down on the rubber ring against the spring preasure, lift the metal center at the same time and twist it to disengage the spear.
Then you just unscrew the top and the lot comes out.
the center spear has a 3 pin rotating locking system and one of the pins is extended to make it dificult to remove the spear.
Easy
just file it down so it still locks in but can be easily removed and installed each time by simply screwing the main top of the spear assembly."
thanks to Grumpy's forums for the info.
I've tried it and now have two working 50lt kegs with removable tops.
Enjoy!
