A Takeaway Invention That Only Costs About $1.50

[wobblythongs]

I don't know if this has been invented yet but those PET bottle gas ups are bloody expensive and I have a lot of places to drink at being Chrissy and all that and at around $20 each. see here

That's expensive and most lodgical brewers couldn't make it cost efective unless they took a 3 litre PET to work every day for lunch instead of going to the bar for an hour.

My Idea is this but from what I have read in here it's a little to extravagant and it's not needed.
I haven't built a prototype yet but you will get the gist of it in the photos. The first link is what it costs to buy 10 in USA i'm sure there is something better and cheaper in OZ for less than $2.50 at super cheap or auto barn bobjane ETC.

Just drill a hole through you old coke bottle and install something like this

Change your reg like mine with an air hose conection and install a tyre inflater on it.

I haven't built 1 yet but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Cheers

$20, for a one of investment....'bloody expensive' fk, if you say so. Out of interest whats the average cost of the rest of your brewing equipment??

I recall reading a couple of threads here a while back re guys making the exact same thing. The typre valves are called Schrader valves. They do come in stainless.

Many of the gaarden sprayer party kegs use em too.

I don't shop there but you would need to pay lots and lots of bucket loads of money if you needed to have a homebrew at a bbq let alone making a homebrew if that makes any sense.

That's just because they are just jealous.

Mate, you dont need one for every bottle. You put it on a bottle, force carb that bottle, take it off put it on the next do the same. Then take it off put it on the next etc etc etc.
