No prob, thank Manticle.... McFeast, Yeh I have 3 left....

Ok, i'm at Coombabah (North End), but I can drop off to south end tomorrow as I need to go to Currmbin.

??? Do u mean is the dip tube still in??? the answer is yes & the extinguisher needs to be inverted (Turned upside down) to use until it need refilling. It's no big deal, I just use a rope & tie it upside down & tie it in so it can't fall off.

I have a few 3.5 kg extinguishers with type 30 thread ready to accept CO2 regs. These need to be used inverted until refilled as they still have the dip tube in them. They are full & ready to use. $50 each. (On the Gold Coast) I use one for my MIG welder & one for my beer. Cheers Russ

Yeh mate, carb as norm on CO2. Nitrogen doesn't absorb so well into the beer like Carbon Dioxide & is only needed for dispensing to give the characteristics that come from the pub or a can with widget. In the cans of Guiness & Kilkenny they pour liquid nitrogen in when they can the product (So...

Yeh you need to push through with Nitrogen to get the nice creamy head & cascading effect. The faucet end (Black part) has a restrictor which releases the co2 from the beer. I have a Stout tap on my system & carb using Co2 & then push through with 100% Nitrogen. Comes out just like in the pub...

Hi I'm chasing a tap to go with my Nitrogen setup. Would prefer a Kilkenny/Guiness tap with handle etc. Thanks Russ

The last pressure test was in Jan 2013 (According to the yellow tags) Apparantly the "Food Grade" to "Industrial Grade" is mainly the container used. I know the local extinguisher guy uses the same CO2 for my Gas bottles as he does for CO2 extinguishers, I haven't had these refilled as...

Just an update these have a 1/4" npt female thread which is the same thread that most regulators use for the stem to reg. I can source 3" 1/4 NPT to 1/4 NPT for $5 to go with them. So all you have to do is remove the Type 30 stem & fit the 1/4 to 1/4 NPT stem. You can also use Argon & Oxygen...

Hi guys , just thought I'd give a heads up on replacement relief valves for Rheem screw top kegs. After losing a bottle of gas due to a faulty relief valve I started looking into finding a replacement for all 5 kegs. Anyway the best I could find from a homebrew supplier was $35 per valve...
