Crusader Kegs

[mr.drankin]

These look interesting, and reasonably priced although, the change of fittings from cornys to these could add up

From what I know they use the same fittings as the kegs you get in the bars, sankey fittings

I'm very tempted to invest sometime this summer in them after a bit of research,
the price of cornys  has near doubled over the past few years.

Anybody any input on these, they look the way forward

That's my input. No help at all.

Cheers Barry your input is always appreciated

There are guys on Jims beer kit using those kegs. At the rate that cornys are appreciating, the crusader ones would be a good investment.

The 20L slim is my favourite

This got discussed at our local club, will see if I can get some of that info

So can these Sankey fittings be used with JG or are we talking a whole new ball game?

+1 Garry. Love that slim 20L. Looks pretty much the same dimensions as a corny so you'd hopefully still get 2 into an under-counter fridge.

The main problem is cleaning them apparently. If you can't get your hands in you probably need pro gear to clean them well

These kegs are what Mr H. uses in his night-club-kegerator set up.

These are 20 L kegs, underfilled and over gassed as they don't need a gas bottle.

They are standard 2" x 14 tpi threads and will take any spear. The H. ones use the S-Type sankey fitting.

I have used thes and the 30 and 50 L big brothers.

Re. Cleaning. You can use a Garden Hose jet/Pressure Washer/Chemicals of choive and 2 meteres of brass or ss chain to clean them.

I would LOVE to find a tall slim 30L keg, then I'd cut and shut a cone on the end to make a connical
