    Hi, hoping for some help please.
    Bought a kegerator with an S type coupler. It is a 2 tap kegerator and I am struggling to find a decent 20 litre IPA. Much more variety in key keg. Is it easy to convert my S coupler to key keg and if so, what equipment do I need? All help appreciated. Cheers.

    First bit of advice is to not use key kegs. That contraption is a solution looking for a problem. It accounts for a extremely small market share of domestic breweries. It should have died long ago.

    I digress.
    2.
    Get a name brand Sanke D coupler. Spend $50 or a bit more for all SS steel. Do not buy a cheap MIC unknown, it will break.
    99% of domestic keg beer will use a D Sanke.

    Changing a coupler requires an adjustable wrench or similar. Keep an eye on the rubber washer. Its self explanatory.

    You aren't in North America.
    Disregard except for the key keg part. They suck hard everywhere to be fair.
