I'd be a bit sus on the bottom of that cracking TBH

Will be interesting comparing my Marzen to some of these. I feel a blind tasting with pretzels and Bratwurst coming on.

Can't see it listed yet? That's last years pack yeah?

 

[NikZak]

Nah that's this years. The missus brought one home for me too

Same as last year, IIRC.

 

[technobabble66]

Identical to last year

Aldi Civic in Newcastle has heaps of AC DC in tins and kegs, Hofbrau Helles and Hefe in 6s or cartons, Paulaner litre tins in Stein and Paulaner 5l kegs.
Scored a keg and slab of Hofbrau hell.
Slabs are 60.

Hic.

Noticed that the Aldi chest freezers are on again, 145L this time. Any guesses on how many 19L kegs you could fit in?

https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-wed-14-oct/wednesday-detail-wk-42/ps/p/145l-chest-freezer/

The dimensions seem a bit squiffy though, (Dimensions: 845(H) x 1390(W) x 705(W)mm) Sounds like that is the packaging dimensions not the actual item dimensions.
Anyone know what their internal capacity is?

Perfect timing, my keezer shat itself when we moved from Coffs to Muswellbrook
I'll get onto mrs sp0rk and tell her she HAS to pick one up, lol

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I reckon you'll be lucky to get more than two kegs in, the compressor hump will rob you of height for a good 1/3 of the 'floor' area.
have a look at the "inside view" picture in the manual:

[sp0rk]

Surely with a collar you could fit 4 kegs and the gas bottle on the floor

 

[Liam_snorkel]

true, worth getting someone to measure up the internals I suppose. I'd be hesitant otherwise

 

[DU99]

Was in adli today and noticed they had some glassware Steins.

Branded or blank?

 

[DU99]

Unbranded.

 

[earle]

Branded or blank?

All the ones that I saw at our local Aldi seemed to have a little picture on them, no brand though.

There was a post on here somewhere about the older 150L version, someone had 4 in it with a collar

http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/76039-aldi-stirling-150l-keezer/ was the old thread, guessing it needs to be a massive collar to fit the 4 kegs in with that compressor hump...

 

[Bribie G]

I've got one of the older versions that I use as a food freezer.
Great little unit but you would need a huge collar.

 

[sp0rk]

Fair enough, might keep saving my bottle tops and go for another 200L jobbie

I bought one of the Aldi freezers yesterday and an STC1000 off eBay for $17 to replace the thermostat with. I'm going to use it as a drinks fridge on my outside deck as my shark Bar B Q trolley fridge looks to be dying or getting low on gas, You'd thing me being a fridgie I could fix it but it will be cheaper easier and quicker to replace it with the Aldi freezer. Don't know how others feel but having a chest fridge on the deck is awesome and I'm a little sad my shark BBQ fridge is dying.
