Hey All,
First off, hello to everyone again & sorry to be a stranger. Guess I haven't had a word with some of ya since GMK came to Oxford 132 back last year. Hope it's flowing clean for all of yous.
Got a question:
I just picked up one of these 'genuine innovations' bicycle pump keg chargers that takes between an 8 and 32 g CO2 cartridge for dispensing. I'm using it on an 11L keg I picked up on ebay. What I'm wondering is - where's a good place to get the cartriges? My bike shop sells them for $6 per 16g but my spider sense tells me I'm getting skinned. I'm in Brisbane, so local advice is really useful. However I'm willing to get them in the mail to - which leads me to a related question:
what are the laws re: shipping pressurized containers in QLD and in the rest of Oz?
Also:
I'm working on a long term plan to turn 2 extra refrigerators in to a termperature-controlled fermentation environment and a keg dispenser. My local homebrew shop owner quotes me a price on thermostats that makes the little dudes shrivel up like sultanas. What are the options? Am I doomed to paying $500-$1K in order to get a thermostat? I'm working on the assumption that importation from the US wouldn't work because of the different power standard. Am I correct here?
Thanks in advance for the input & again I hope you're all sitting pretty with cold ones.
Cheers,
ToS
