BK's and Pliers .....

[Ditch]

Ditch's Top Tip For Today ....!

If, like me, ye use BK's (Apart from drinking straight from the FV! ) Might I suggest ye get yeself a pair of pliers and keep them next to the keg?

'Why, in the name of god?!' I hear ye ask. So, I'll tell ye: After maybe years of innocent pleasure, comes the day when ye turn the taps lever open on a full keg ~ And that little bit of white plastic finally gives up the ghost and snaps off in ye hand .....

Where Is Your God Now?!? Four gallons pouring onto the carpet. And you staring at a smooth little ball of plastic, with just a rough bur on it where there should be a grippable handle!

He won't f**kin help ye. But, jesus wept; As ye snatch up that pair of pliers, sat there gathering dust all this time, ye'll mutter a little prayer of thanks to Ditch.

Ditch you really do have a terrific way with words, and creating instant pictures in my head - ever thought of writing books or short stories? I'd buy that book.

Steady on, mate! Ye'll enrage the haters .....

Come on, ditch that twisty lever nonsense and bodge on a dalex type tap, far better for pouring your beer!

[Ditch]

Is that what they're called ....?

No, either way, still too much plastic, for me Britally, snappy stuff.

No; Someone posted on here about how to make up a Stainless Steel complete tap ensemble, for a BK. F**king brilliant! I swore to gather the bits. But, ebay isn't my thing. Local place only does Brass. Thus I kind of faltered. Floundered. And f**ked

I will find his bloody thread again. I Will put together a couple of his style of taps. They just look the utter bollocks, to me. As long as I can source parts that don't come with fried rice ..... Just as well with plastic, otherwise

For my boiler (Thinnish plastic ) I went from outside to in tap - washer - nipple - boiler wall - washer - hexagonal nut - coupler - hop strainer. I can write down the part numbers if you need em. All mine were 1/2 inch.
(Obviously you wouldn't need the strainer).

Totally UK based.

Hammer a nail in to replace the handle

Ditch,
I`m surprised that you are using a tap (not any more) to pour your beer.
I always thought you were a syphon tube straight out of the FV! And I`ve got pics to prove it!

James; When that nasty little sucker stays in ye hand ~ and the beer's gushing onto the floor? You can go searching for a hammer and nail .....


Wales; I'm organic, mate. I'm always nosing around for ways to improve How I do what I do.

Like; My beer suits me. That's cool. It's just those little wrinkles, between bringing home the kits and sipping from the glass.

Like the mole grips. You ever get the mole grips?

Anyway; Let's not pollute this Dispensing board with such chatter .....
