"No liner bag, and the keg presumably is SS even if it is magnetic." all those kegs are made out of Tinplate.Indeed, after trying to gently removing the top I gave up and cut away a portion to see what was going on.

Still didn't look very complicated so I kept prying to no avail.
I eventually decided to eff it, and went for my crow bar and sure enough, brute force did the trick.

No liner bag, and the keg presumably is SS even if it is magnetic.
It is a simple push-in style with barbs, and could presumably be reused with a new CO2 cartridge if one could find a means to exert enough force on the center tap without damaging the plastic top.
The locking bits are 90 degrees apart, maybe the keg could be modified to some sort of bayonett like lock, push in and twist 45 degrees to lock sort of thing
Well, I was hoping to be able to refill it.Any specific use you had in mind?
I'll have a look"No liner bag, and the keg presumably is SS even if it is magnetic." all those kegs are made out of Tinplate.
Your keg most likely was made by one of the big German producers, Envases (former name HUBER Packaging) or Kleeman. You may find the manufacturer's name on the bottom rim of the keg.
"Well, I was hoping to be able to refill it." those kegs sell for less than 7 euros new and full with German beers for 12-16 euros. The full ones are a better deal and replacement parts are available.Well, I was hoping to be able to refill it.
I don't brew myself, but I have friends that does and it would be so nice to have this on hand when they ask if I'd like some of their latest batch.
Someone brought this keg to a party we had and it ended up with all the empties the next day, so I kept it as I kind of liked the format. We've had other types before and they all seemed substandard, especially the kind with the air pump. Horrible!
A few tap options for those standard 5 L kegs.I think a threaded collar might be the best solution if I can find someone to weld it in for me. That could presumably be made to the same height so the top would click down on the rim as designed.
I think that this particular keg is too damaged for actual reuse, but if I can find a new way to make an attachment I'll buy some more of that beer. It was really nice![]()

Thanks, but I really like the portability of the setup in the original post
Not in Sweden they don't!
Try €50...
If I can buy these kegs empty somewhere, please let me know
Oh, yes I see. Thank you!
But I was referring to the complete setup with the TopKeg system as well

The price is great. After installing the top you may end up with a single-use keg because removing it again will give you the same problem as you had with yours. The other tap they show is easily removable.Oh, yes I see. Thank you!
