    Having 5 rubber coated kegs to convert I decided to build this great little jig http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/simplest-k...ing-jig-143048/ rather than using the usual freehand method. I quickly ran into a few problems others might benefit knowing about. 1). My 100mm grinder didn't have a...

    Attention Perth Brewers

    Perth brewers thinking about making a party keg might be interested in one of these pipes for sale at the Armadale Recycle Tip.
