Ramesh Pandey started the topic Switch Posts on Pin Lock and Ball Lock Kegs in the forum Brewing Equipment 1 year, 2 months ago
Hello everyone, I am wondering if you can change the posts (where the connectors on the lines) attach to a pin lock keg to make it a ball lock keg. Or do I have to buy a whole new keg?
