Party Keg Progress (or lack of)

As you will have seen on my previous blog, I have embarked on the production of a home brew party keg manufactured from a Bunnings garden sprayer

A couple of weeks ago, this was going quite well, with all the bits and pieces installed. I filled up with air from a pump to see how things would go….well not so good, I had a slow leak from somewhere.

Today I decided to have another go, and realised the leak was coming from the bulkhead fitting at the top of the sprayer. For some reason this does not come with a rubber seal, so I stole one from the garden hose out the back, and it fits perfectly

I’m pretty comfortable we should have a good seal and will test this afternoon to see how it goes…

The Bunnings Garden Sprayer Party Keg

Essentially these things are made from a cheap garden sprayer from bunnings and can be put together for around $50. In this section of the blog I will keeping you updated on the progress of my party keg. pic below too show you what it looks like…
