hey doc the extra bit you got with the aspirator is the spigot that is for the top of the cask not a tap .air into the side bit and the top cap is to bleed cask of after it has been sitting for a day or two in between drinks.

delboy :beer:

Picked the aspirator up today.
Thanks Doc and Kook for the top effort in organising this.

Cheers

Fantastic bigd.
That means everyone should have theirs now.
Also got confirmation that the supplier is going to refund me the VAT they charged me. They charged me because we had them shipped to Kook.
Kook had to send in the recipets for postage, and I had to supply a whole bunch of other info including all your addresses. Phew, otherwise my aspirator was going to cost me ~$200.
Thanks again Kook.

Fingers crossed I'll get mine installed and tested this weekend. Last weekend was a blur and it didn't happend.

Beers,
Doc

Photos of my unit so far are in the Show us your Beer Engine topic.
My plan of attack is to connect the beer line to my BE, going to a bucket of PSR or Caustic and flush the unit to clean and sterlise.
Build a line with the aspirator on it for connection to my Soda Stream gas setup and my keg system.
Run a test using the German Ale I have that I dry hopped in the keg that should come out great through the beer engine.
Will post pics as I do it all. Hopefully this weekend if I can get the new Garden Shed assembled in a day

Umm, actually one hasnt turned up. Hopefully soon. Seems a bit weird since AusDB got his last week to a house, and mine hasnt reached a PO Box. Still hoping.

Bugger. Sure hope it turns up soon.

I have ended up losing out on the extra engines from the UK.

Although I can get very cheap shipping from the UK now, so I will keep my eye out for more.

So, did anyone jump in and buy an aspirator that they will never use?
If so I will relieve you of it for a fair price.

 

[goatherder]

Vlad, I read a post recently on hbd - a guy in the US used an off-the-shelf LPG reg as an aspirator. I'm not sure how our regs compare to the US ones. Here's the post in question:
