A little background.
For many years my Grandpa was a Grain Belt Beer distributor. I don't know exactly when he started, but it was in the 50's, I believe. He had tons of beer and tap stuff. In the 90's he retired, and the business was sold. At this time Bud and Miller were becoming big, running the old classics out of business.
My uncle has told me he though he had some odds and ends things laying around in a couple of buckets. This Christmas, he brought what he found. Got 3 taps, 2 secondary regulators, several Hoff-Stevens keg couplers, and other odds and ends fittings.
I have been talking to a guy that had old 1/4 barrel Hams kegs. They are the tap rod style, which has the wooden bung and a hole in the top of the keg. With my odds and ends items, my uncle gave me two tap rods:
Do any homebrewers use these? I'm thinking about using them, when I get together with the family. There is a lot of history with these.
I just have a few questions, if anyone actually uses them.
