Silicone Keg Cap Thingy

by **unsub** » Tue Dec 18, 2012 4:36 pm

Was in Kmart the other day looking for silicone baking sheets to make gaskets from and ended up buying a silicone muffin tray for $5. Not only was I able to make some nice gaskets but one of the muffin things also fits perfectly over the neck of a keg to make a handy seal. I just cut the entire muffin cup section out, trimmed it and jammed it on. A clamp also fits over it to get a better seal. Food safe and cheap.

Good idea. I wonder if the missus would notice if one of her muffin trays went missing??

Good point - for $5 i think i will keep both my balls in tact and by my own :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yep it seals pretty good without the clamp because the cup is tapered so it fits on snug.
