All the bits and pieces arrived for my pump and I am finally up and running with it working! @Druncan I have no idea what the drain back valves are but the whole thing is a bit grubby so they probably do need a clean if you have any instructions. Do you have any tips on cleaning the cylinder as...

Hi, First post, so please go easy :laugh8: I'm hoping somebody can advise me on how I can connect the beer engine I have acquired to a bag In box supplied by my local brewery. After doing a bit of prior research I bought some 3/8 keg beer pipe, metal hose clips, a non return valve and a Vitop...
