Ball lock keg O-ring size?
Question:
I have just gotten my first keg. It is missing the o-rings on gas and liquid connectors. What size o-rings should I buy? Thanks! Greg

Greg, I too am a new kegger. When I cleaned up my three newly acquired kegs, I decided to replace all the rings. After throwing them away, I went to the brew store to buy more. Needless to say, they didn’t have any nor could they tell me what sizes they were. I found everything I needed from William’s Brewing at http://www.williamsbrewing.com. They only cost about 40 cents a piece and fit perfect. The only thing I didn’t like was the shipping charges, but I just ordered a few more hard to acquire items to offset that cost. No connection, just passing on the a source that has helped me. Barliman — Life is too short to drink bad beer!!!

As mentioned, all the replacement o-rings are available. It turns out that the o-rings for the Gardena (and Hozelock and other competitors) garden hose quick connects, have a replacement o-ring for their half inch male fitting that fits. Costs a few pennies more, but is available at your local hardware store. Anything to keep the beer flowing. Dr. Pivo
