Talked swagman into making a new Transfer device now I won't have anymore cracked plastic siphon's. Its made all from SS except the Tip and the top guide. !/2 inch inner tube which makes transfers a lot faster. I was told not to get faint of wallet but finally price was in my books fair...

I looked at cam locks and its almost the same thing a flat surface pushing against a o-ring. O-ring degrades and its back to leaks. Woodie

So long to leaking quick connects went all Tri fittings. Little warm when brewing but with the aid of some changes I don' have any changes to make and the big thing leaks are gone. Seem I was always having to replace a dang O-ring. When you look at real close the thickness of the O-ring was...

Swagman cut a 10 inch hole in the keg and used a top cut from another keg that about 12 inch God Bless woodie

Here is what Swagman came up with Works very well plus it has a 2inch dump in the bottom. Top gasket seal well. Here is the second one with different ideal on top clamps This shot of the racking cane I had made later. God Bless Woodie

Guess we are lucky here in the Midwest. Swagman charges 12.00 per 1/2 coupler and furnishes the coupler. He also turn down's half of the coupler to 1 inch drill's the hole and back flows the welds. Says he like to help and keep himself busy. Woodie

Pm sent Swagman does custom fittings and this be no problem Woodie

Had Swagman cut my kegs and this is what he came up with. Just wish the powers to be would let him on the board but I guess the all mighty dollar is in first and the brewers second Woodie

I know for a fact the swagman only charges 15.00 to Tig weld a coupler and he furnishes the coupler. He is located in KS. Woodie

No Flex what so ever I have the mash tun and also the boil pot cut the same way Agree on good work Woodie

Here is a picture of keg I had swagman do its with the top ring removed and the dome cut back to the sides. Works great hope this helps Woodie

ED When it comes to hole into the keg I use good quality hole saws. The 1 1/2 ferrule is 1.500 OS so I used a 1 1/2 hole saw used a clamp to hold in position cap the ferrule and back flowed. Couple of tacks and than its off to races. Woodie

For electric element this what I had Swagman build for myself Its 1 1/2 Ferrell with a 1inch SS not nut which is straight threads. Its built so the box and element can be removed with removable of one 11/2 clamp. Hope this helps Woodie

Have started using kegs for fermentation. Biggest problem I had was transfer. This is what I came up with. Had the swagman build using a 2 inch cap that has a thermo well, SS racking cane and ball gas hook up. The racking cane is adjustable. Just hook up the Co2 and transfer. Woodie
