i have been trying to find out more information on the italian-made 5 gal ball-lock kegs i see from most of the online vendors...but nobody seems to have a definitive answer. are these italian kegs cornelius style to accept type A posts and poppets or do they use a proprietary style that might be difficult to find or expensive to replace. can anyone tell me what parts match them if its not type A?
i would really like a few of these kegs for presentation purposes because they are clean and undented, but i dont want to get into them if i will need to source and maintain a separate supply of parts for them different from my regular cornelius soda kegs. posts & poppets, o-rings, lids and diptubes. are these cross-compatible with cornelius or a separate item and if separate, how available are these parts and at what cost?
does anyone know the manufacturer so maybe i can get info straight from the source?
grape&granary is selling "italian" posts and replacement lids for theirs, but most of the other big online homebrew sites do not list separate parts for their single-handle italian new kegs, many list them as italian corny kegs too. very confusing.
im hoping someone here has seen one in person or owns one and can shed some light on it for me. one of the retailers i contacted didnt know the answer, the rep went and looked at them and said it looked like they were type A posts, but they will have to get back to me at a later date after the try a type A post in one of them.
i am assuming the 3gal italian kegs are cross-compatible with the 5gal ones, and i bet more people have the 3 gal for use as a tailgate/party pig setup so maybe they can shed more light on manufacturer and parts availability?
thanks everyone for your help in advance.
