I have an assortment of soda kegs that I use for racking my beer (hate bottling). Question: I would love to be able to change out all of my kegs to ball locks but unfortunately I have 2 kegs that are the pin lock design. Does anyone know of a way to retrofit the pin lock threads to accept ball lock posts?
If not, I guess it isn’t a big deal but it would be nice to change everything out.
Thanks.
I’m new to kegging myself… or I should say, about to start this weekend. Picking up 3 ball lock kegs today. $24 each! Love group buys.
Anyway, I believe a guy in my brewclub mentioned an adapter for exactly what your asking. I’ll see if I can find some info for you.
