    When I removed the beer float from my king keg the last time I noticed the clear plastic cylinder had a crack. It seems like you can only replace the whole float http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/latstock-beer-float-p-112.html.
    I presume this part needs to be airtight in order for this system to work? For clarification it's the hard clear plastic cylinder the lower left of the image below.

    I'm not familiar with the keg but surely you can just fill it with water to test it?

    Thanks,
    I don't think that would work as the keg requires the CO2 pressure built-up during secondary fermentation to force the beer out of the tap (at least when the beer goes below the tap level - it's situated near the top of the keg)

    I'll try it anyway :D
