Just waiting for some money to come in then I'm getting one too though I will probably just get the tap on the keg setup due to space constraints.

Cool, and I am not sure but I don't think the tap needs to remain on the connector. It can be moved off to a font if you ever get there.

OK - there is this, but check with the guys at YeahBrew:

The Beer Tap is connected directly to the ball lock so you would be pouring direct from the keg - the tap won't be mounted. And the gas connect is swage so you would probably need hose clamps to hold the gas line on. The above would work but personally I would get their input too because my taps are mounted and I have several beer lines and can therefore draw from more than just the one keg.

Have sent them my n00b enquiry.

Have sent them my n00b enquiry.

I would advise this:


I use that same regulator with the sodastream adaptor to the minimix 100 from my gas (same fitting as sodastream). This way, you don't need to immediately commit to the MyGas CO2 but you can switch to it once you have it working with a sodastream 60 bottle (if you have one, otherwise - just go straight to mini mix).

Just as I think I'm getting hang of it you confuse the shit out of me. Minimix 100? MyGas CO2?

They're just CO2 suppliers. YeahBrew might jsut advise you get one of his recycled fire extinguishers. If he does, then you're good to go.

Is this a recycled fire extinguisher? Not sure I'm thrilled by that...

How many litres of beer can you do with 2kg CO2?

I dunno if they're recycled or just repurposed from OEM. 2L should do about 100L of beer.

Have sent YB some more questions but I think I'm getting it now...

 

[GreGorGy]

Damn - benoni. I may just call them tomorrow and see where they are.

 

[LD50]

well I reckon there might be another alcohol ban lurking on the horizon. I might have to order in from @GreGorGy and @biometrics

Get busy guys!!!

Since you bailed on this thread it's ginger beer for you!

don't be like that, you know I don't need much

They are a 5 minute drive from my office. Although, if there were less stop streets, it would be a 3 minute drive. So I went and checked it out and it is legit. I will detail the equipment later when I get a chance.

@GreGorGy do you use the sodastream bottles? Starting to think that's a better option as it will be easier to get refills in Her*anus.

Got a tax refund so ready to go ahead with the kegging purchase...

Yes, I did at first and I can at any time. The S60 bottle.

In fact, the MiniMix bottle I use now is the same fitting.

 

[GreGorGy]

Forgive the shit pic quality:




Left the minimix, right the sodastream. Identical valves.

Seeing that the Sodastream 60 can do 45L of beer, which is two fermenters full, I think I'll start with that. Easy to exchange being a factor in the sticks.

Also spoke to Robert from Yeahbrew yesterday which was helpful.

Going to post my shopping list later, if you'll look it over please.
