Yep he wants beer in the kegs. Anybody know a bottleshop in melbourne that sells them?

My brother bought a kegerator and is eager to start using it. We'll be making some homebrew to put into it, but until then he wants to know where he can buy CUB/Tooheys kegs. I assume he needs to go to a pub.

I can't find a plumber who wants to hook up my natural gas burners to the mains. Can anybody recommend somebody who can help me out? I'm in Melbourne, eastern suburbs.

Thanks for the suggestion fellas.

Anbyody know where I can get a 150-200 litre boiler (any metal)?
