Hi Matt How much for both the tools you mention & how much for shipping to Sydney. I assume you offer a good discount to members of this forum? Cheers Low Hang'n

Just ask what keg type the couple is for, that way you can check to see if it will work on yours. After I visited the micromatic web site I became a lot more enlightened about the differences. What type of Keg do you have? Cheers Low Hang'n :beer:

You can buy a special primer from paint shops that will stick to just about anything, like tiles, glass etc. Just used some to paint an old kitchen that had horrible brown laminates cupboard doors. Painted over the top of this primer with an enamel paint & it came up a treat. :super: Can't...

Yeh, many different types for different kegs. Check out this site, explains a lot :beer: http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-beer/k...rs-cid-801.html This site also has a pdf that shows all the different coupler types (US based but still works here) The Tooheys keg I have uses the 'A system'...

Are good to see others have trodden the same path as me :super: But hey I have blood blisters to-boot :ph34r: :ph34r:

Got the Tooheys keg, the question was confirming the procedure to get the keg back together if I decide not to file the safety tab off. Seems that a special tool is required that locks the spear back into the screw bit that the keg coupler latches onto (hope that makes sense, not one for the...

This is your friendly reminder for the pickies, :super: :D What is the best procedure for getting the spear etc back into the keg without filing the safety tab off as Arthur suggests? Cheers Low Hang'n

Have you made your own keg tool? If so would love to know what you did. :)

Good link goatherder, have been thinking about making a tool myself after I was having so much fun getting blood blisters using the pliers but should be a hell of a lot easier next time around. Cheers Low Hang'n

Well, finally got the spear out. Took awhile though, didn't seem to want to budge but was loose when the black seal was depressed. Trying to turn the thing clockwise with pliers didn't seem to work until after a blood blister & a step back to have a think. In the end I did a little wiggle while...

Thanks all, it's the best info I've been able to get from anyone and great photos Arthur, everything explained in pictures, fantastic :beer: Andyd, the gusher bit was on purpose to see how high the beer would fly. No I didn't get wet; bolted quickly once I locked the keg coupler. Made a great...

Thanks Goatherder (good name, but why?). Will try your method tonight when the chitlins are in bed & out of the way. Are there any other gotchyas with these kegs??? Cheers Low Hang'n

Hi Recently got hold of a 50L keg (Tooheys style). Scored a keg coupler off a mate and degassed the keg. Boy did it shoot like a fountain :beerbang: ........ Luckily I did this in the back yard!!! :D I had stale beer mist slowly falling from the heavens for quite some time. The question I have...

What are carbonation drops made from? Has anyone else noticed the difference between the use of carbonation drops & sugar for priming. Love to hear your comments. :ph34r:

One of these days I'll give the Gruit a go. Keep reading that hops contain estrogen chemicals that can lead to 'Man Boobies' & 'Brewers Droop'. Also like the sound of this comment from a web site I visited about gruit "it is highly intoxicating and aphrodisiacal when consumed in sufficient...
