I have been looking for a new kegging system since I moved. I still have my Matilda Bay dual font going but varriety is the spice of life. Sunday I picked up a 200L chesty for $50, it was looking a little worse for ware,but a bit of a clean and it's all good. I opened up the compressor compartment and there was the odd dead mouse, actually 6. A quick blow down with the gurney and I could finaly see the wiring. The earth to the thermo had been eaten through, looks like it had been triping someones house(all good for me) and I tested before finding the broken wire and was running well.
Today I did a little shopping, 3.6m 240x42 DAR primed(cheapest but hell cost more than the freezer) I probably could have gotten away with 200, some wood glue, aluminium angle, new hole saw(my old hole saw is lost in storage),and wood putty (no one is that good with a saw less it's ya job).
Note I have all sorts of kegs: 6x cornys (4 are new kk) 2x converted pinlocks 2x 20L mytton rod 2x 18L mytton rod; and 4x mytton rod 18L screw tops with pin lock post that I'm not using ( will be used for sours and long term conditioning).
With the 240mm collar the tallest (20L) keg will fit on the hump no drama.
I got the collar made today but forgot pics I'll make sure to post some tomorrow.
