Hey guys, am just about to move into AG brewing (BIAB) and have been doing a bit of research on urns vs pot+burner Up until this thread, I was strongly leaning towards the urn. Crown sell seconds (visual difficiencies. small dents, broken boxes etc) for $196+gst but was looking to pay a bit...

Thanks for that. I suppose the essential question was can hops be thrown straight into the fermentor with no "bag" to remove them later, and your answer of yes, if it's less than 7 days is good information. Don't use a secondary, but had a scare yesterday when i went out for lunch at work and...

Quick question. I was doing an Irish Red Recipe using kit/extract. Had two bags of hops provided in the brewcraft kit - goldings and fuggles. The recipe said to boil water and drop each hop bag and boiling water into a separate steralized mug and sit for 15min, then pour the tea and hop bag...

No, as the original barbs actually didn't fit in the font (to be honest, I didn't have the patience to make them fit :)

Hey guys, Originally posted this when I bought my kegerator from pinnacle. Still going strong after replacing the 90o angle barbs from the taps with some from Ross. Now have 3 kegs and thinking of punching a hole in the fridge door for the 3rd tap (have a spare celli tap lying around). I won't...

Hi Ross, That is perfect!! Did I just miss that on the taps, shanks page??? I swear I looked for about 30 min in all the categories... You're a legend. Cam EDIT: Ross, Just purchased on craftbrewer.com.au. Having a keg party on Friday, will these be sent out on Monday? Thx again.

Here's a pic through the top of the font... I don't think the john guest ones will fit... can anyone tell me how long they are?

Hi All, I need to buy 2 x 90 degree barb that attaches to the end of the tap shank. This is to go in the font and the ones I have now, the barb is too big for the beer line (6mm ID) that I would like to use. I've had a look at craftbrewer.com.au but couldn't find anything. I've seen them on a...

Now it's up and running, I don't have any regrets! Looks much nicer than an old fridge with a tap drilled into it.

I did notice that the first time I switched on the gas I dialled it up to 15, and the next morning it was about 10, dialled it back up to 15 then next morning was at about 12. have just put it back up to 15. this normal?

Hi guys, Well, had the gas going at 15psi for the past two days (didn't force carbonate it) and thought I'd give it a try. hooked up the beer line and poured myself a long one. Head was good, and though the beer was still a bit flat (how long will it take to get the beer carbonated to 15psi...

This is going to sound like a dumb question. I've hooked up the regulator to my co2 bottle and connected it to the IN disconnect. When I turn the co2 bottle on, the purge valve on the regulator goes off. I know the knob on the front that screws into the front of the regulator controls the...

You can just split the gas line before the fridge and have it carbonating externally. the have another splitter inside for two of the cold kegs that are hooked up.

Definately get back to them regarding the reg. I thought I didn't get the screws for the railing either but ending up find them after I used my own. Yep, long screws don't have a purpose... like Babe, according to the house cat. You should have also got 4 screws for the font (small ones).

Whitegoose, It can be done as I managed to do it :) I used the screwdriver method. Just make sure you leave the end in boiling water for 2 min +. I might end up replacing the barb anyway as I have a feeling the there will be too much turbulence when it goes from the smaller tube to the much...

The instructions are for a crappy single chrome plated font, but the guy includes a nicer stainless steel dual tap font. It's easy enough to work out in the end. At least you guys didn't have to drill your own holes :) I still can only tighten the nuts inside the font by hand. Anyone found a...

haha, it's a damn good price i tell you given you get the reg (two in my case), font, taps, hoses and everything included except the gas and disconnects. I ordered it from the website. Though have spoken to Greg a couple of times now, and he seems like a pretty good guy.

You could try and get a reduced price, but you're probably better off just palming them off on eBay. That's what I'm doing, along with the free reg they gave me. :)

Hehe, I just bought it and told her after... If she gets a multi-thousand dollar ring for an engagement, I should get something too, right?... right?

By plastic top I meant the plastic top of the fridge itself. At the moment it has the stainless steel font against the plastic which won't seal (so you'll lose efficiency of the fridge) I managed to get a much smaller line of that 90 degree barb by boiling the end in water and using a chopstick...
