Looks like I can get it all from Ross except I can't find the Corny post adapter.
I couldn't find any of those bits at CraftBrewer, apart from the post itself (don't forget to order the poppet valve separately from there though).
The kegs from minikegs.org are just the plain ones without the gas widget, so might be better suited to this kind of thing? Or just buy one from the bottlo and drink the contents... all for science of course
I think the last option is the best
I'm just waiting to come across Franziskaner in those kegs again. I've seen that for about $30, only $10 more than an empty one... there are things far worse than having to drink 5l of Franziskaner.
Now that's a good idea. Wonder if you could do that without gas as a mini real ale setup?
You mean just for carbonation? I was think of doing that. The bottom bung is a good few cm off the bottom anyway, and I haven't bothered with a pickup tube to get it any closer.
Check out chicompany website for adaptor.
That's where I got mine. The other option (in the US) was Midwest Brewing Supplies but their website was being flaky at the time I ordered. Both include the poppet valve with the actual posts as well.
So what I paid was:
$9.99 for each of the posts, from CHI Company
$7.35 for each corny post to 1/4" NPT adapter, from CHI
$6.64 for each SS 1/2" hose barb to 1/4" male NPT, from McMaster-Carr
$4.21 for each 1/4" elbow
So $US56.38 per set, plus shipping. Again, not cheap but I think they will be cool things to have.
