after 7yrs off ive just got back into the hobby.. man, so much id forgotten but AHB has remembered for me 👍🍻

Kind of. the life of a beer is generally a little longer in the keg due to being cool and gassed (in most cases). ive found through my couple of kegs ive emptied, that after a month or so, my beer (just basic k&bits) are still fine in the keg.

top idea if you can get on to them for their REAL value, but i reckon the sight glass might stuff it for beer use.. unless it can handle 300kpa for 1min AKA the ross method? :)

after two months, a fermeter with a strong napisan solution and the lid (with airlock hole) smelt quite gungy and gross.. i wouldnt recommend you leave em too long.. and rinse, some new solution and overnight soon brought it back to usable again tho.

keen on an 80l keg here, can organise something to either c.coast or freight to central west nsw?

i tried the montieths at the local here, it was quite refreshing.. the barefoot, way too sweet for my liking, seemed a little overdone

good to see you doing your bit for homebrewers GMK, and bringing new people into the fold :) :beer:

got my kegs, line, reg and gun setup from kegsonline.. bit of an impulse purchase tbh :) i do like to deal with ross tho, fast and efficient!

nice cheap freezer - http://tinyurl.com/2mjwau

i get all mine from the local recycling depot, freebies. prolly have over 500 here now.. I take em home, soak them in the tub with a strong solution of napisan for a day or so, rinse, sanitise, store.

dextrose will ferment fully to alcohol only, no taste. personally i use full malt additions, plus some dex if i think it needs an extra alcool kick. on the sample issue, i just crack the seal on the lid of the fermenter, enough for it to draw air. no need to take the lid right off, usually 1...

my NSPA (not-so pale ale) out of my new kegging setup in my new nucleated schooners....

bit of a tight fit, but behind is my reg and 100l s/stream bottle, all in my 210L samsung fridge

sounds run of the mill for a lot of these 'off the shlef' business'.. if you want to make a small fortune, start with a large one :/

taking a few longies of my 'NSPA' (not-so pale ale) down to a mates nye party... if i can work out the best / least messy way to decant from my keg via beer gun
