Hambleton S30 L-bend

Post by houblon » Fri Jul 04, 2014 8:25 pm

Does such a thing exist? I have to take the keg out of the beer fridge every time I need to re-gas (and that's fairly frequent with the recent kegging). A nice little corner bend attachment would make my life much easier and avoid disturbing all that sediment each time.

If not, then is there an alternative for an S30 cylinder?

I've never seen such a thing.

Up until recently there was a perfect solution. The Widget World "SoDash" system could be modified to give you a sodastream cylinder with a "squirty" handle which fed a flexible hose terminated in a cap that screwed onto the S30 valve. But those cylinders are obsolete and the Widget World stuff is not far off obsolete too.

Leftfield suggestion: could you make a hole in the top of the fridge and add a "bung" to keep the cold in until you need to add gas? Depends on the fridge but if it has no ice box then there are probably no coolant pipes in the top.

The other alternative is a pub gas system but that's quite an investment and would need a bit of DIY.

Aye, not a bad suggestion. No ice box to speak of, but it'd be a nerve-wracking few minutes with the drill!
