I have one of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B002NLMBOM

I have a small hose with a liquid corny post at the end which fits in the top of the pump. I do about 15 mins with oxy, 10 rinse and 10 sanitiser

Ah yes, that is what I need, and I just realised that one of my connectors for the corny kegs is not JG, so my plan wouldn't quite work!  Where can I buy the corny keg post though?  I did a search around on google and found this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/201694303679?chn=ps&var=501469822548&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=501469822548_201694303679&targetid=855313181933&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1007276&campaignid=6619151996&mkgroupid=88031187549&rlsatarget=pla-855313181933&abcId=1140496&merchantid=113532009&gclid=CjwKCAiAvonyBRB7EiwAadauqaGZ_lm8Ml_NJ9p-D3_eSwIUoeGYKkef3LL1KXjYHkQ5h325f_yErhoC5ekQAvD_BwE

But it didn't have a barb like yours, which I think would be ideal

I bought a pump already, so nearly ready to go

Ok, so from a bit of further seaching, I think I need the following:

3/8" Barb x 1/4" FPT
1/4" MPT x 19/32" Plug Adapter
19/32 Ball Lock Liquid Post

Anyone the best places (Ireland or UK) to pick up these things?  Obviously I'll google around, and might find what I need quickly, but any good recommendations would be great.  Or if there is simply a single piece I can buy (the one in the photo looks like one piece), that would be perfect.

Stainless Carbonator with 5/16" Barb from Homebrew Company, €14.95

Or cheaper from China, but a 3-5 week delivery.

I think I got mine off Ali but that's the same idea

Just remember an post have stopped deliveries from China. So buying from the homebrew company, or a European shop is probably the best way.

website says they've stopped all mail going to China, not from. In saying that I've had an item that shows with last mile carrier for 2 weeks but no sign of delivery  :(

Just spoke to an post. It is all post too & from.

The cerbonator looks like just the job, but it sounds like (from the description) that it is for the gas side, but I want to hook it up to the beer out line.  I know there are slight differences in the ball lock connectors so you can't do that, so I'd be surprised this would work for both.  It's not a problem if the fit isn't perfect, as the cleaning fluid will jsut run back down the line into the bottle, as long as there is enough of a fit for it to also push the cleaning fluid up and out the tap at the top.

dcalnan

Most of those carbonation fittings are designed to fit gas and liquid.

Cheers, then I'll give that a go
