On a youngs plastic beer barrel what thread sizes are the top and the bottom holes please

The top is roughly 50mm but i dont know what sort of thread style it is, the bottom tap is either 3/4 imperial or 20mm something mill in french.

Does anyone what these thread sizes and profiles are please?
 
Usually 2 inches top, 3/4 inch bottom. BSP. I bought one of those black taps you get for water butts the other day, exact same one they charge £7.95 for on some sites, £1.99 and threads straight into the pressure barrel without the need of the back nut.

Watch out. The purity police will be onto you, on the assumption that your black tap may not be 'food safe'.

I'm going to use it on one of the plastic buckets I'm using as a boiler, too, to make sure I get more rapid extraction of the cancer and Parkinson's disease molecules. I know I shouldn't but they're sooo moreish.

The length of the shank was a bit long so I ground it off and I'm making an oil infusion with the shavings because the look a bit like when they grate truffles on them fancy cooookin shows.

When it's ready I'll take it round my auntie Kay's house to spice up her meatballs.
