type of sankey keg

[400d]

what's this type of sankey keg and how to disassemble it?

I want to open it, but all tutorials on the internet show different kind of thing...

Looks like a type "G" Coupler

If you are converting it, you could just bleed the pressure and cut the top, no need to disassemble the coupler

what do you mean to cut the top?? could you please be more specific? I just want to fill this keg with homebrew, because I have the whole system, and everything fits perfectly. I'm a new guy to kegging so I don't really understand all the terminology....

I got complete system, and I have everything. I just drank last pint (commercial beer) from the keg and now I want to do it again, but this time with my own beer....

Don't know how to open this keg to fill it with homebrew

Well you could use the coupler to fill it. There is a check valve in the coupler, a small plastic ball, just remove it when you want to fill. You will want to sanitize it between batches.

Getting it open is pretty easy, but I think getting it put back together requires a special tool that is hard to come by. You might want to look for a standard type D keg instead. See here- http://www.micromatic.com/forum/us-en/kegerators-kegerator-kits-home/6531-how-open-grundy-keg.html

yeah but how to clean and sanitize the keg?

 

[bendavanza]

You could put oxyclean, beer line cleaner or PBW in there, soak, shake, rinse, put sanitizer in there drain and then beer. The cleaner your finished beer is before adding to the keg, the less muck you will have to deal with when cleaning. Being able to open that keg would be helpful but i understand you are working with what you have. The plus side is when you push out the cleaner and sanitizer it can be run through your draft system which will keep it clean as well.
