Brown cider barrel.. fitting co2 cap

[andy2912]

Hi
Got a wilkos apple cider on the go and a brown cider barrel.
On the Rocks Pear cider in king keg, and was good last year.
This is the type of barrel

Has this cap

Has any one fitted this cap? co2.

And is it worth it ta?

It is...... BUT.... if you think you're going to be using the barrel regularly, suggest go for a 2" cap with an S30 valve (looks identical to the one you show, but doesn't have the centre pin) and stump-up for a refillable S30 cylinder - much more controllable; especially when the barrel is full.
