Egads! I have lost thy washer!!!

Post by creativewoody »

So I pull out my beer goodness this week and find 3 LBKs but only two washers for the three spigots (uuhh...ohhhh)

What washer would make a good replacement? Thanks all and glad to see familiar faces on here :)

I'd bring the whole LBK and some water to the hardware store to find one but you may nor find one that is food grade.

You may have to buy a whole new spigot assembly. To you have a LHBS? :cheers:
