Beerkat - Kegs & Growlers

[[email protected]]

Just checked and I don't have any such spring thing. Any chance I could get one? If it saves either of us on postage or travel I have a mate who's got a 5L on backorder to ocean reef. You could chuck it in there for me and I can arrange to collect from him. What's best to do?

Hey Judge

We are happy to send you one.

Could you please personal message us your name and email so we can put this through our system.

Cheers mate

Graham

Aw sweet, cheers! I actually ended up using the mini reg with bulbs, 2 pushed a whole 19L keg! Bit handier in setting since we moved it around, carting a CO2 bottle too would have been a bit sucky!

Kegs arrived today, nicely packed. Cheers fellas, looking forward to putting them to use

Received my goods from Beerkat yesterday.
Extremely happy with their service and communication and very happy with the kegs.
Cheers

got my new ball lock head this week, thanks guys.
wondering how much for a liquid post to replace the old tap configuration? Posted to brisbane?

thanks

Got the straight type 30 to 5/8" the other day, doesn't give me anywhere near the clearance I need but it'll still get used at some point, basically makes the mini reg able to be used in any application now!

Only thing that could be improved is having a swivel fitting for the mini reg. Here's mine with one I ripped out of an inferior reg:

Hey Liam, the brass fitting was originally required on all our regulators however the outlets have been made larger so the brass fitting is not always required. Usually these fittings are included in the regulator box for the smaller size however it seems it was missing from yours. We can send you one out if you like?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

All good. They had fittings but I removed them because the resting position on the gas disconnect when tightened was upside down. So I replaced with these ones that rotate freely

Is the thread on the reg M8?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

yes I think so

Both of mine are also upside down (or close to upside down).


Not sure if this is good for the regulator, but in any case I'd like to have them in the up down position with the gas bottle on the bottom for ease of seeing the dial and knob. I don't want to start turning the brass nut without checking with Beerkat as to whether tightening it to the regulator to get it in that position could do any damage to the regulator or strip the thread?

EDIT - As you can see the liquid out posts arrived. Thanks for that. It was easy to change them out, but it took me a while to figure out what was used to clog up the thread on the cross bar connection. Toothpaste, or at least that is what it smells like. Good thinking.

As I mentioned, maybe in another thread, try a different disconnect. For me two different brand disconnects were the right way up, only the BK one was upside down.

 

[Jack of all biers]

If I had any I would. These are my first kegs so have no spare gear.

 

[damoninja]

Not sure if this is good for the regulator

Assuming the bulbs are pressurised enough to liquid, in theory, no it's not good

But........

By design, when there's a bulb connected and you want to take it off and put it in a drawer... kinda have no choice?

Beerkat comment?

Is there a piece missing, should be like this
