Tap questions!

JaySherman · May 19, 2013

Hello all!

I am planning on kegging soon. I admittedly have very little knowledge about it. I should be getting pin lock kegs, and a friend found this tap:

From my own research, I think it is a Sankey tap.

My questions are:
1) Is this a Sankey?
2) Can I use this with pin lock kegs?
3) What do I need to do to be able to do such a thing?

Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. What?

Cheers!

No, but you can go the other way, from a sankey keg to corny disconnects. It takes a bit of modification to your connector but it works.

For pinlock kegs you need two pinlock connectors for each keg, one liquid and one gas. Get the threaded ones if you also want to use Sanke(commercial) kegs. This will make it easier to switch between the two.

That is a Sanke tap. They only work on Sanke kegs. Both the gas and beer line hooks up to it, so it's really easy to connect/dis-connect.
Given the price of Corny's these days, it may not be a bad way to go.
Sankes come in 1/2 (15.5 gal) 1/4 (7.75 gal) and 1/6 (5.23 gal) barrel sizes. https://www.google.com/search?q=1/6...zLMOaiQKcnIGIBA&ved=0CEQQsAQ&biw=1152&bih=749
Look on craigslist.
