Clean the lines every time you change the kegs. Give the taps a thorough clean every couple of months. Perhaps a bit more frequently. I've just gotten a Bucket Blaster from KegLand and have added a few bits so I can clean my lines without wasting CO2. I think that'll help me keep up the...

Keg King MK4 Keggerator with two ss taps, bunch of new kegs, 6.8kg co2 cylinder, a stainless pluto gun and a 9.5l portable. Kinda combined birthday/xmas present. expecting a few more bits tomorrow from the family; hopefully a few eclectic tap handles or some more adapters.

Some of them don't react well with Alcohol. No problems with hangovers, but you need to earn them.

I just downed a 750ml Irish Red Ale I made from a fresh wort kit (I don't have the gear to do anything more yet). Now I am sipping a shot of Wild Turkey American Honey. Thought I was out, but when I stashed my latest batch of Breakfast Stout (it's what happens when you put muesli rather than...

Where do you get your nitrogen from? Do you need a different reg setup? Are there any good (and australian) resources on Nitro?

I am starting to build something to track the amount dispensed. I bought a couple of hall-effect flow meters (they are for water) and am writing some code for an arduino to keep track of the amount of that has been dispensed. I need to get some fittings to connect it between the keg and the...

I put one together a couple of months ago. I didn't follow the instructions and added the sweetener at the beginning :) It turned out ok. Started off a bit astringent, but then came good after a week or so in the bottle.

Yeah, that was something that concerned me. As Frothy1 mentioned, there's font fan with the latest iteration, and I know the stainless font has insulation, so it shouldn't be that bad. If you felt like it, you could always look at a poor man's glycol system with it or with a flooded font.

KegKing have an awesome little fridge / keggerator which is designed for corny kegs.

Dropped in and had a chat to Anthony this morning; really impressed with the keg mate. They had some left in stock, and the missus has decreed that I am to replace my brewing fridge with one, and I can get one for serving. Not only was I impressed with the device, but the guys there were...

Well, this thread has convinced my missus to go and take a look at them on the weekend :)

There's Craftbrewer in Capalaba (www.craftbrewer.com.au), they are a sponsor here from memory and are known to be a good bunch. Also in Capalaba, there's Tru Brew (www.tru-brew.com.au); never been there, I have no opinion. There's Annerley home-brew in Annerley. Again, never been there, I have...

How far west? I'm in Indooroopilly, and the local Brewer's Choice just shut up shop. They are a chain though, so there's one in Wacol and one in Ipswich. They do supply Co2 in the Wacol shop. www.brewerschoice.com.au

G'day mate, I've done a batch of Mangrove Jack's Apple Cider. I really like it. It has a sachet you can add to change the sweetness. They do a few different ciders (cysers?) with different things, like a mixed berry cider and I think an apple and pear. Take a look at their website, or check...
