What about trying to find a square plastic weed sprayer and turning it into a keg? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/20L-PRESSURE-BACKPACK-WATER-SPRAYER-GARDEN-WEEDS-KILLER-/200942033163?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item2ec914190b&_uhb=1 Something like that would be able to handle the pressure no...

I might be partly to blame, I told a couple mates and between us we got 17 cans at 10 bucks a can.

As the title says, get yourself to Kmart and grab whatever is left

That's what I do and never had a problem. A strainer isn't that hard to clean and sanitize, I just sit it in the fermenter full of cleaner / sanitizer while I boil. If you are going to whirlpool does that mean you need a tap on the bottom of your brew pot?

I've got one of those and it works great. I ended up buying the 16gm co2 bottles for about a dollar each on ebay.

Hey guys thought I kegged this a couple of weeks ago and I am rapt with it. I have made 8 kit brews now (usually adding extra hops and light dry malt or something else) and this is by far my favourite so far :) 1 can Coopers Mexican Cerveza 1kg Coopers brew enhancer 1 500gm Coopers light dry...

That works out to nearly $17.00 per can. Is that a reasonable price in Melbourne? In Perth, TWOC sell it for around 11-14 dollars per can.

Must be a mistake somewhere, it doesn't say on their website that its past its best before date.

Well at least it looks cheap :P for a toucan anyway...

I have been using a spare pump from my aquarium in an esky. I put 5 frozen 2.4L fruit juice bottles with the lids off in and fill it with water about an hour before I want to use it. Works awesome.

Tastes ok from the sg reading samples. It's still 1.020 now so I have turned the temp controller to 1 degree. And will keg and force carbonate Saturday morning.

I checked it this morning and it goes to 1.110. I have a hydrometer that I used to use for my aquarium that only goes up to around 1.040. FWIW I swirled the bucket last night and the SG was the same again this morning. I will check again in the afternoon.

You might be right but I forgot to take the og anyway. I just got the og / fg figures from the spreadsheet

Cheers guys :) I m just using the Coopers hydrometer but I'm confident that its the correct reading. I calibrated it by cutting little pieces off the top until it read 1.000 in 20 degree RODI water. Also the counter clockwise swirl was a reference to a Seinfeld sex move if anyone cared :P

Yeah ok, cheers for that. I might give it a counter clockwise swirl and check it again tomorrow arvo and if it's fine crash chill it.
