Wilkinson’s new pressure barrel
Wilkinson’s new pressure barrel
Just bought one today. Didn’t check it In the shop. But we’re the tap goes it’s kind of not drilled out properly. It’s like a solid block with a small hole. I’m not sure the tap looks right dotted in the hole
Re: Wilkinson’s new pressure barrel
Tried the tap into the hole. It fits but it’s tight as hell, lubed it up but it’s not seated properly doesn’t look flush

Re: Wilkinson’s new pressure barrel
Do you mean Wilko? If so, I have one as a back up fermenter and the tap arrangement is a bit odd to say the least. I've found it's OK providing you don't over-tighten it and just let the vaseline form the seal.
Re: Wilkinson’s new pressure barrel
Shorten the thread on the tap and it will be fine. Do not enlarge the hole !
