NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Weldless fittings and Cleaning

I want to connect half inch fittings on the inside and outside of a keg. Is
there a weldless solution? Is there a coupling that I can attach that does
not require welding?


Is it alright to clean a keg with PBW and Santaclean just before use? Or
does it need to set for a while?

Thanks,

Keith
