    New - Ipswich Qld. Kegerator build info research.

    Very nicely finished timber collar on this DIY Keezer. Something to aim for one day with a future build.

    New - Ipswich Qld. Kegerator build info research.

    Hi, Yea that's life. Could be worse. I've seen far more smashed ones on forums. They really need to do something about frame re-enforcement on the back corners and better base packaging if they really expect them to survive transit. My build is sort of on hold currently. They did get the...

    Kegarator X 4Tap Build (Will it ever happen?)

    Hi @Mattym Yes it's not a good feeling is it. It's a shame they don't have local outlets it's always a worry buying site unseen with certain items. Sorry to hear you went through similar. We did discuss compensation for my troubles on the first phone call. I suggested a discount voucher for...

    Kegarator X 4Tap Build (Will it ever happen?)

    Yep. I'd totally agree with whats written above. Pretty much exactly as I experienced it. On a positive note I just opened the replacement Keg and it looks to be undamaged. So there are now 4 Keg's sitting in the fridge waiting for me to pull my finger out and fill them. ;) I should say...

    Kegarator X 4Tap Build (Will it ever happen?)

    OK. A few points here. - I did ask before delivery on their forum as to what the best procedure was with accepting delivery. I did suggest that maybe I should open all items in front of the driver and to refuse to receive it if it was damaged. I didn't get an answer to this. The answer was...

    Kegarator X 4Tap Build (Will it ever happen?)

    Don't get me wrong, they are more then happy to try again with a return and re-shipment. However there is enough feedback on the net from other customers to suggest I would be playing Russian Roulette and am far better off just wearing it and moving forward. The damage is basically a foot or...

    Kegarator X 4Tap Build (Will it ever happen?)

    OK. Another update. I feel like a bit of a dill doing this as I seem to be posting to myself basically in this thread. LoL. But hopefully it will be handy for others later. So The following Tuesday after the Australia Day long weekend my order finally arrives at about 11:30AM. The courier...

    Hi @gavinlbuckett Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I'll elaborate better in a PM shortly. Yes I'm aware of all the big advantages of using an externally temperature regulated chest freezer. However in the end I wanted a turn key solution that would get me started in short time and in a...

    Kegarator X 4Tap Build (Will it ever happen?)

    So. Put the order in Sunday. Day 2 now Tuesday arvo and still showing only "Processing" I'll be very surprised if it doesn't ship today. Everyone else has been talking about 4 hour processing time. I was hoping to receive within the week but maybe not. Also did have plans for Friday lunch...

    Kegerator X - 4 Tap. https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/kegarator-x-4tap-build-will-it-ever-happen.101344/ Originally I was going to build a Keezer (chest freezer with external temperature regulator) but decided a Keglad order for a complete plug and play system would be a quicker and tidier...

    New - Ipswich Qld. Kegerator build info research.

    OK. So not getting a lot of feedback or info on the build so I just pulled the Trigger and ordered from KegLand a couple of minutes ago. Total cost just shy of $1600. Had a $1000 score on the pokies last night so figured that was a sign to jump in. LoL :D I will have to pick up the correct...

    Kegarator X 4Tap Build (Will it ever happen?)

    OK, So with a bit of extra thought and chatting with some very helpful people I have changed my build to use internal DuoFit Regulators now instead of chaining the bigger more expensive ones on the bottle. Benefits? >> This has dropped the build costs slightly, all items currently in stock, and...

    Redcliffe 's not that far from here. But I doubt I can get some of the KegLand specific stuff locally. Keg Soda Water Carbinator, Kegerator X series, etc. Either way in a little over a weeks time I'll be dropping the hammer on a decision as that's when stock arrives again. That is if something...

    OK. Cool. I'll send you a PM some time to arrange something. Any particular days or times more suitable to you? As for the photo's it's common that on forum boards you are restricted to a certain file size and format due to storage constraints on their servers.

    Kegarator X 4Tap Build (Will it ever happen?)

    Hi, sorry slow to reply. I read the messages straight away but it's not often I'm near a real keyboard to type. I'm happy to just do the 7 day slow carbonating. I'll have to sus out what your cleaning suggestions are on the KegLand website. I take it what I already have isn't suitable. I did...

    Hi @gavinlbuckett , Nice to find some one local. Cool!. Yes I'd love to see some pictures. And maybe even if you don't mind meet up in person some time. Maybe you could show me your setup in real life and tutor me a little on the in's and outs of it all. I was originally going to just use a...

    New - Ipswich Qld. Kegerator build info research.

    Yea true. When I get into something I tends to always buy new and most things serve me well for life. I tend to not get in and out of hobbies like some. Shipping is a killer ($130). And I worry about damage as most couriers to here don't give a damn. But yea for me.. buy new, look after what...

    Hi, Back again. OK so quick replies. - I would like to go with new equipment. - I have looked at local suppliers and other online ones also. KegLand prices kill them all. I have posted a thread on my current order intention. (Awaiting moderation)...
