Wow, this thread is hard to follow - two conversations going on at once.

Anyway, Adam, the Brewery Plastics pins are three-part but are very solid, and I'm guessing at home you won't be dropping them down a cellar, so I wouldn't have any concern with that.

Barley Bottom (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="www.barleybottom.com">www.barleybottom.com) used to supply these, but I don't see it listed on their website, so they might be worth a call. If so, he'll be able to sort you out wth shives, keystones, spiles etc.

Can we not create a "Files" area on the site to upload usefull files such as this one and I'm sure a lot of other useful struff to contribute to our knowledge base. For eaxample could we not allow .doc, .xls, .pdf ??

Other groups allow this ( as the posts are strictly moderated ), why can't we?

Also other sites allow photos <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

Thanks for the info. I thought these were the single piece plastic ones (now I don't know where the single piece plastic ones were...).


The thread did take a confusing turn there; plastic casks to wooden casks to the reasons why wood is not an alternative to plastic or stainless casks and back again.
