The valve on my one was stuck solid. Also the centre piece didn’t go down on the spring, it was the surround. Ended up removing seal, then getting a big screw driver and mauled the spring out. After that it was gravy.

Well done, now drill holes, fit it all together, fix the leaks, build a control panel and if you say it quickly you will be done in 3 months. The ones with the circlip are hard to disassemble as well.

Hi Matt, very clear video thanks …. First one I’ve seen featuring this type of valve. I got a keg, also from a second hand shop, which has a Micromatic valve…. Similar but not identical Do you know if the same thing will work… gently depressurising the keg by unscrewing it just a little? Thanks
@mattgoss702410 ай бұрын
Hi, try pushing something like a screwdriver in the valve first to depressurise it. The danger is the pressure inside the keg so ensure it is depressurised before unscrewing the valve.

You only needed to turn the inner spear 1/4 turn clockwise after degassing and it drops down some are a pain, then unscrew the whole thing, none destructive way if you need to refill or cut the lug off once you done the lid cutting, if you haven't started drilling yet have a look at my vids on the q-max cutter, cheers

norfolkhillbilly Thanks for the advice, it was a pig and didn't have an angel grinder at the time. I have seen your video using the Q-Max cutter and will be ordering one to cut the holes in my kegs and control panel. Thanks again Matt.

Clive, it sounds dead easy but I had issues with sorting mine out but that was partly cos I could not find instructions. Once you have done it once, it gets easier.

I know mate had a problem last week with a euro keg would not budge, had to use violence to get it out and still couldn't release it so had to grind the spring off and fit it with a modded spear for reuse.

Matt, you just did a VERY dangerous thing that could have lead you or other people following your video to have a really nasty accident. You DID NOT degased the Keg by pressing the seal, BEFORE unscrewing the valve . If that barrel would have enough pressure or the safety pin prevously removed (the little thing you later found to be the cause of not being able to remove the valve) that valve would have come out flying at your face with fatal results. Please learn about what I just said and remove this video to prevents others with less luck than you.

FedericoHarald Hi, thank you for watching my video and I appreciate your comments. Safety is important; we all take risks in life and that is how we learn. You may have missed the part where I slowly un-screwed the top just enough to release the pressure. There is enough thread length to prevent the valve from coming off due to the pressure, also as you said there is a lug which will stop the valve from coming off. The lug was my problem. Thanks again.

FedericoHarald Hi again, cool video! To learn from a mistake one first has to make one. Thanks again, I am off to chill with a homebrew.

Hi Matt. I’m having problems trying to unscrew the the 3 sided nut of doom from the keg. I was going to drill a 6 mill hole in the bugger but then thought about it. I took a 19mm socket and a tea towel placed over rubber seal and pushed it down safely depressurising the vessel . Still wanting nut of doom off so after mucking about with oil filter straps to no avail I’m going to weld a piece of square bar to the bugger and hopefully remove it. The g type is cleverly designed to prevent the non official refilling very well. Buggers! Cheers for vid though. 👍
@darrendaz69696 жыл бұрын
Cheers bud, it seems there was some kind of catch which was preventing but from turning? So plasmaed the fucker in the end! Same thing with u type as well two small spring loaded tags prevented the spear from coming out. I know this because i plasma’ed that too.

Jan H. Martin Hi Jan, thanks for taking the time to watch my video and commenting. I am just an amateur at these things, there is probably a better way but my method worked for me. My aim is to offer any help I can to home brewers, like I have been helped by there videos.
