Hi all can any one tell me the type of keg coupler you will need for a 10 gallon Stella Artois keg,a few poeple have said its a U type ,a few on line sites have said different,I have just started buying a few things to start pulling my Stella on tap ,any help would be ideal ,kind regards Tinman
I believe it is an S coupler. At one time they used to have different couplers for different size barrels, 50 liter was an S, 20 liter was a D. @billandsuz By the way, neither of those is 10 gallons.
The obnoxious answer is none. Stell does not come in a 10 gallon keg. It's an import, and it is packaged in liters. And there are no 10 gallon domestic kegs either. I am assuming you are in the USA. Stella is an interesting beer as far as kegs go. The coupler used for Stella depends on the keg size, either D or S. The 50 liter is S*. The sixth bbl is D. There is a slight difference between D and S though you can not easily tell them apart just by looking. The S stem extends a bit further. A D will almost fit into an S bung and almost vice versa, so it is important to know what you have. As it is an ABInbev product it is quite possible that the formats are changing, so you would need to confirm. Also, important, do not be surprised if the sales people at your local don't know. Cheers * It is 50 liters, which is quite a bit less than 15.5 gallons. Basically you are paying an exorbitant price for a mediocre lager that is pasteurized, and you're not even getting a full keg the way God intended.
If AB-InBev switches brewing of Stella to US breweries, it would seem that news is going to change things. https://www.beeradvocate.com/commun...o-shift-stella-artois-to-us-breweries.655011/
hi there cheers for the answer ,check this link below (I am in the UK) http://www.globalfoods.co.uk/shop/beer-cider/beer/beer-kegs/stella-10-gallon-size-10gal
Interesting. This retailer has 10 gallon kegs. 11 gallon kegs. All sorts of kegs. 11 gallon keg of Coors? Doesn't exist. So I think this retailer is not be honest, or is being lazy conveeting liters to gallons. Continental kegs are not packaged in whole gallon increments. US kegs are not packaged in whole liter increments. Or 10 gallon, 11 gallon, does not exist. Those sizes do not exist anywhere in the world. So, this keg, I don't know. Chances are good it is an S coupler. That is my guess. Cheers Edit; And this would be Imperial gallons I presume, so really all bets are off. Best idea is to ask the retailer and hope they are correct.
