    Thanks for the great McMaster Carr tips!

    For poppet valves (and used kegs and parts), check out Brewers Discount - they current list poppets for $2.50 - http://web.iwebcenters.com/brewersdiscount/productCat15956.ctlg

    Thanks!

    Did you ever put together that post on changing the rubber on those pressure relief valve? Or could you send me some advice on it? Just bought a keg which is leaking through the valve. Rubber looks fine, but that particular valve leaks on multiple kegs even with keg lube.

    Gabe,

    Completely forgot about that one. That's why I hate calling my shot. :)

    I dug up the info on the stuff, so I hope to get the time to hammer something out shortly.

    I have a corny that I cant remove the posts! I have tried very 7/8 tool I have . Yes to turning Counterclockwise. Thinking about an using an impact wrench . Have you ever had a keg with hard to remove posts? TONY

    When I first get kegs, the posts can be real tough. I went down to Harbor Freight and bought a cheap socket wrench that was really long. Leverage is the key!

    Excellent info on reconditioning and 0-ring source. Thanks. Just bought a lot of 10 poppets for $20 from stellarsellerinc (wesellkegs@gmail.com)

    Does anyone have any detailed directions for cleaning and reconditioning the outside of the keg? I have heard of burnishing, but do not know how to do that.

    Tim: That's an awesome deal. If ever need more, I'll be sure to check. Thanks for sharing.

    Richard: Depends what your kegs look like. If you just have dirt and goop on it, try Bar Keeper's Friend and a scrubby. If you want to polish them up, get a sander buffer and lots of sandpaper. Go with a course grit to get the scratches out, then a few finer grits to polish it up.

    I did this on one keg and it seemed to be a ton of work and messy. I eventually figured out the beer doesn't touch the outside of the keg and this doesn't make the beer better. :)
