10L Beverage dispenser from the Reject Shop

[gad]

G'day
Dropped into the reject shop to pick up something on the way home this arvo & came out with one of these.

It's a 10L Beverage dispenser from the Reject Shop - $20



My only concern is what the nut is made from, looks like a hard plastic of some sort.

If it wasn't for the nut it would be a good size for oaking 65% but I won't do that.
Might have to see if I can replace the nut.

Thoughts, thanks.

Good pick up there Gad, nothing a cork wouldnt fix :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[gad]

Yep, looks like a cork will be the go, just been looking at it a little more & it looks like the tap is plastic as well.
1 cork & oaking it is.

Looks like an great pickup, you can get stainless steel nuts cheap on ebay.

Looks like you could get an arm in that thing, replace the tap with a good quality stainless tap and some good washers and it will be a top bit of gear.

Looks alright. Might pop down and see if my local has one

[aussiemoonshiner]

there a few different types in NEDS i seen the other day might go and get one

[gad]

Can put your arm in there. Put my hand in & unscrewed the tap (all plastic).
The hole would be too small for a ss beer tap, the width of the shaft on the beer taps I have in my fridge are app 25mm. The hols width on this thing is anly app 18mm so it would need to be a small shaft.

A 1/4" BSP fitting has a male thread width of 16mm, maybe it could be that?

Hmmmmmm

might be able to fit something like this:

[gad]

Thanks FireKitty, that looks ideal :text-thankyoublue:

(wonder what those seals are made of?)

[Dominator]

How does the lid seal? You will need to make sure it is relatively air tight or the angels will rob you of your hooch.

This is an old pic, sorry folks, changed old seals out and just screwed in tight with ss washers, is holding good so far :-)
