This is what I ended up doing. Th keg is tipped towards the door, but it is stable. I'll have to sort out something more elegant in the future, but in the meantime now I can clean the fermenter and go to bed! Thank you for your empathetic ear!

Please excuse the unnecessary post. Sticky and tired. (it's 0130 here). I've been brewing all grain for 3y or so now. Tonight i'm kegging for the first time. I have two little 15L Sankey type kegs, which suits me perfectly. Just using one to start. Filling the keg went really...

I'm such a doofus. It's a metal speed fit fitting, and a bung. Problem solved!

Hey brewers! Im just getting started with my kegging set up. I have two beautiful 15L s/s kegs, but now I need to use them. I have the primary regulator pictured below, which will reduce me down to around 35psi. Problem is, what I expect to be the outlet has a weird plastic T-piece in it and it...

Hey TeaBelly! Welcome! I'm over in Sandbach, Cheshire and a bit of a newbie too. Similarly dissatisfied with extract kits used, so planning and designing an all grain setup. Mainly diy parts. Just thought I'd say hey! Reverb
