Corney Keg Bottom
« on: July 12, 2016, 12:06:16 pm »
All -
Has anyone been successful in gluing the bottom back on a corny keg?

I've tried several different epoxies with no luck - the last on let go after a couple weeks in the fridge - it didn't seem to like the condensation!!

I hate the idea of being down a keg because the bottom won't stick anymore.

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Mike

I have had one that I used Gorilla Glue on, it is holding up.

+ 1 - helps to have the keg filled to act as a clamp.

JB Weld?
Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.
