Empty Eco Kegs For Free

[Batz]

A recycling truck comes to pick them up, rather than a brewery truck. Then something perfectly good is recycled using copious energy.

Eco my hairy white arse. Another "green" load of *****.

Cheap is what it is. Your beer is being served in PET.

I'll recycle them Nick and make a nice raft, when you visit you can have a float around with a nice Batz Brewery beer.
Kinda makes it all nice and hippy don't you think?

Hehe...

Because when feeding the toddler beer, BPA is the worry.

The bladder is PET. PET doesn't have BPA in it... afaik

dont need a plasma cutter to cut the top off, electric kitchen knife will do

insert kmart kettle element, using bbq tongs heated over the barbie to make the hole

heat up a fork and keep stabbing holes in the bladder, saves a trip to spotlight

take a trip to bunnings (gardening aisle) and choose a tap that suits, use tongs as noted above for the hole

move to all grain for twenty six dollars and fifty cents

Hmmm...I will be on the Downs next week...wonder if I am game to drive in Brisvegas to get some..... This size is great for storing stuff on the farm...

And I might move onto AG quickly too.....

After speaking to the guys at Tipplers Tap about how keen everyone was to get their hands on their used ECO kegs I am offering up ours from Archive.

If anyone can come up with a more novel idea that our old Bottle Shop Manager who made his wardrobe and storage on his ute out of them I'd love to hear about it and see some pics.

Did someone say "Ecokeg Bulk buy"???

Im just wondering if they would leach quite a bit of chemicals into your soil. Considering they have a bottle inside them you wouldn't think they would have gone to much effort to make them safe for contact with anything human related. I only say it because it seems the same when building a veggie garden, never use any treated timber, just hardwood and what not otherwise you ending up eating veggies laced with arsenic, probably over kill on my behalf but just pointing it out as a possibility.
