Frozen Keg Posts

[mazaman]

Hi,

I'm still working on getting my new "used" ball-type keg from Northern Brewer working. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting off posts that are frozen stuck. Those things won't budge even with a pipe extention on my ratchet. I was thinking abou trying some Liquid Wrench, but I was afraid of the lasting effects on future beers.

Thanks Craig

Try a propane torch. The Liquid Wrench won't do anything harmful to your keg. Just clean it up when you're done.

Problem solved. After messing with these posts for more than a day, I applied the "I really don't give a **** if I break these things" attachment to my ratchet. Works every time. Should have thought of it sooner.
