Side note: Beware of false seal. First couple I bought would not make a good seal without pressuring up. And Dean's right... grease that puppy.
If you like your keg, and if you are a junk hound like myself, make friends with your local scrap yards. When you go take 7/8" wrench for ball lock and 13/16" modified deep socket for pin lock. Last trip I bought two kegs(6.50 ea 10# @ .65/lb) and stripped another half dozen of inlet/outlet fittings, gas and dip tubes, and lids. They did not care since it all goes on scale.
And Dean,by any chance you got that Jim Llyod chart on carbonation for sparkling wine. (See bunch of ref. to it but cant find it) Considering making carbonated hooch and was wondering temp/pressure for 6 volumes of CO2.
Good luck with your keg,
Deano
