    Cobra beer line fittings

    Yeah. They're 8mm, or rather 5/16". I have actually just found a 5/16 to 3/8 reducer so may have solved my problem with trying to connect beer python. I'm just thinking it's going to be really tight with all those fittings on there.!

    Cobra beer line fittings

    I have recently bought a 4 tap cobra flooded font. The stainless pipes are really tight together. Has anyone here used a cobra font and what fittings did you use to connect the stainless to the beer line? Has anyone ever tried to connect Andale beer python to one of these cobra fonts?

    Line length and Cooling for Temporary Bar

    Does anyone know if you can hire glycol machines? Maybe that could be an option....?

    Line length and Cooling for Temporary Bar

    I am working to a budget based on a crowdfunding campaign. The flooded fonts are cheap ones. An ice bank or glycol solution is going to cost me thousands extra which I simply don't have. As for the ice water, I feel it should work in theory. The plan was to salt the ice so it stays sub zero but...

    Line length and Cooling for Temporary Bar

    I am building a temporary bar for an event and am seeking some advice. I am running 12 taps, and I planned to buy flooded fonts and run the beer through andale beer python from a coolroom. Budget constraints mean I can't afford an ice bank or glycol solutions, so I planned to use a small pump...

    Where to Redeem my White Labs Voucher

    Last year I won a free White Labs yeast in the NSW state comp. I have no idea who accepts these vouchers or where I can redeem it. Anyone know? Cheers

    Odd ball lock post sizes

    Thanks for the help guys. I'm assuming they just sent me the wrong fittings. I'll check to see if they fit on any of my other corny kegs before I complain.

    Odd ball lock post sizes

    So I was given a Cornelius keg with the large fittings on the right attached. (Definitely Cornelius, as per the stamp) I thought all Corny kegs had the same ball lock posts and threads so I ordered a gas and liquid post for Corny kegs (in pic), but when I go to fit them the thread is different...

    Brewmaster T-shirts

    Saw these today. Thought the brewing community might be interested. I've ordered 1, but they only go to print if 50 are ordered. I think there's about 10 to go. https://fantees.com.au/brewmaster

    Tap head leaking under pressure

    So, I did it! The c-clip did just slip off. It was really awkward and took a bit of effort, but in the end it just slipped off. Now I've just got to find an o-ring the right size. I thought I had one, but the ID is wrong and it appears to be critical. Thanks for the advice guys.

    Tap head leaking under pressure

    It does undo, but in there is a c-clip that I just can't get off. To get to it, I need to push down really hard on the tap to push the spring down and then somehow manage to get the c-clip off. It won't budge. Any tips for easy removal of c-clips?

    Tap head leaking under pressure

    I've been restoring an old font that someone gave to me, and I'm a bit stumped. I got the other side working , but this side leaks under pressure. If I look inside the bit with the spring, at the bottom is an o-ring that looks like it's stuffed, but bugger me if I can work out how to get to it...

    Castle Hill and NSW State Homebrewing Competition 2014

    Got my results today. Thanks to all involved. I wanted to ask a question about using the whitelabs voucher. Does anyone know where white labs yeast is stocked in NSW and if it would be possible to use online?

    Castle Hill Home brew Competition 2013

    Actually the only thing up to date on that site is the date and the fact that it will be held at ANHC. The entry forms, details, etc are all from 2013.
