Title: One Success in Many Tries
Product review: Not happy with this product. While I do like the beer mixes associated with this gizmo (makes me feel like I'm a real home-brewer but keeps to my short attention span), the keg itself is poor. Keeping it sealed is extremely difficult; the clamps stretch, requiring a variety of work-arounds (my final attempt involved a dozen C-clamps). I've had it leak on so many tries that I invariably put it in the bathtub for fermentation. If they had made the top lid bigger, and made the keg a single piece, it would be a good design--in it's current setup...lousy!I have cannibalized the keg, and now use the internal float (that keeps you from drawing sludge into your glass) and the CO2 cartridge adapter (which has standard threads) for use in my new setup.Do yourself a favor and spend the same amount on a used corny keg...
