Alb 0 sounds, well not great. I'm going with Alb Prime, or Original Alb.
Kind of wish I had bought the inexpensive new kegs instead of cheaper used ones. They're giving me a bit of trouble.

I like rubber top because I can stand them upside down to let water out after I wash them. But I can only fit 2 rubber top kegs in my kegorator where when I use the strap top I can get 3 kegs in it.

Oh and it is good to see the Original Alb back. Often imitated but never duplicated.

I think I mentioned elsewhere (but maybe not on this forum) that I find them very difficult to dis-assemble. The tops have been glued back on previously, and the glue secured the posts as well. I managed to remove the out post on one, and cleaned the in post in place. But now it seems to have a slow leak. I'm still thinking about the whole thing, I'll start a thread if I get stumped.
