hoops, just wondering about the co2 bottle u got, how do you fill it up? im renting a VT size through BOC atm... My LHBS guy doesnt rent his but he didnt say anything more than that.

JSB if you allow say: $40 for gas cyclinder $25 for reg $65 for burner Leaves about $15 for gas... so its reasonable...i guessed the above amounts, shop around and see what other people can do for you. cheers

BBB & Jazman The pics i showed you were for my HLT, my other boiler is heated by a 3-ring burner. Hey thanks for the tip...didnt think about the plastic on the handle...might have to make a few adjustments. Cheers

Here the urn i picked up for $50...

And you know what.... After making this boiler, and testing it, i pick up a 30L Urn for $50. Havent even had a chance to use it for my first all-grain. I'll probably use the urn, due to it having a sight glass on it, however if it ever dies on me i have the big 50Litre beast to take its place...

Bigfella, those 50kegs are handy and perfect for a boiler. As justin stated use a metal cutting disc, and it doesnt take long at all, if cut the top out of 2 50l kegs so far. As for the tap, i used ball valves however didnt do any welding. For my tap i cut a hole, threaded pipe through the hole...

The old system at Kmart with soda stream CO2 gas bottles, to my knowledge was you had to bring in the empty bottle to get another that was refilled at a cost of $18, and they didnt let you buy them. I asked about this...and now Kmart will sell you a gas bottle full for $30 and you dont have to...

Well, one nite not too long ago,,,was relaxing on the lounge when...smash bang crash! Result seen below - bottle tree fell over, it was ontop of a fridge. Lucky i only lost like 3 longnecks, so not too bad in that i didnt lose a brew! :)

Hey Johnno, I use a Fisher & Paykel fridge, with no freezer compartment. It is a 367Litre, and i usually store 2 kegs inside due to the "hump" compressor, although i have built a little shelf for it, so i can fit 4 kegs easy! This fridge will freeze my beer if set on the coldest setting, so i...

My approach to beer lines is the same as docs. I also stip my taps and clean em up as good as possible in between kegs.
