Thinking of selling mine, it was bought March 2018 and will replace it with a Keezer, mainly due to the noise problem. The gurgling aspect annoys me as I can hear if from the loungeroom, if that could be rectified I'd keep it.

Keezer would definately be of interest.Thanks for that Kenf. So perhaps we should have some Keezer options? Keezers are particularly good if you want to have lots of kegs (4 or more). I am not sure they look as good and lifting the kegs over the side of the freezer is not always that easy. They do consume less power which is one nice aspect.
I do like. I don't see what else you can call it, one side drops the price the other side drops the price, etc etc, generally known as a price war.You can call it a price war if you like. At the end of the day we are a very efficient business and if we can continue to operate on tight margins while still being able to put time and money into product development then we are happy to keep doing this forever and it's a very sustainable business. If you are to talk to the shareholders, staff, and management we are all quite positive about the direction that we are going especially given that we have only just got to 1 year old (we started in Jan 2018).
If you are looking for a Kegerator I don't know why anyone would bother getting gear that is clearly not as good if faced with pretty much the same price tag. So I guess we have made our customers decision as easy as possible.
No I think keezers belong in the realm of those who build them!Thanks for that Kenf. So perhaps we should have some Keezer options?

Curious what you are using instead.Yep great on power and once I got rid of my corny kegs, manual handling is not a problem!
Went to see if I could get another kegerator bargain today for the holiday house, already got a font and tap spare. Did my usual pleading poor, pensioner bit, got them down to $299. Only stumbling block was, that was for 50. Anyone want 49. Please.
I was only joking, but I hadn't thought of a bulk buy, anyone interested in a bulk buy? Probably a bit late after the sales they have been having on the kegerators but worth a shot. Any other interstaters we could see if they will ship.i will take one delivered to BNE @$299
Geez you guys can crap on.. Starting to wonder if all members are actually a bunch of nannas. What happened to answering the question!? Lol. How long are everybody's beer lines on the series 4's?
We don't come here for serious answers.
Hey it's not rocket science (as some would have you believe) first off it depends on the amount of carbonation you have in your beer, then what your pipe diameter is, and thirdly how long you are prepared to wait for that glass off goodness, be aware that commercialy we need to fill glasses as quickly as possible whilst retaining a decent head =$, you don't have that pressure (pun intended). Start with 2mtrs on your fizziest beer and if you get a glass of foam extend it to 3 mtrs or more (consider reducing the diameter of your pipes), if it takes forever then chop 500mm off and repeat, do not be surprised if you have a 1 mtr run or less for lightly carbonated ales and 2 mtrs ish for lagers/wheat beers etc. Balancing in a commercial enviornment is very different to what is required in a home keezer/whatever situation, decide what type of "beer" you're going to serve and the level of fizz you require then cut you line accordingly. Personally I use about 2 mtrs on everything except English ales (1 mtr and wait lol) better to wait a bit for the glass to fill than wait for the foam to subside, hope this helps. cheers GGeez you guys can crap on..

They're all 4mm EVABarrier from kegland, be aware that different pipe material will have different flow resistance although I think this is only really relevant in a commercial setting where pipe runs are many mtr's long, so if you have some other pipe I doubt it will make much difference. Also if you have barbed tails swap them out for duo-tight/john guest type fittings it makes life a lot easier when fine tuning your pipe lengths. I've just measured my pipes and I have 1 @ 900mm (real ales 4-6 psi) 5 @ 2-2.5mtr's ish (everything else 12-15 psi) and a 3.5mtr for emergencies (overcarbed stuff ups) As I said before I much prefer a slightly slower pour than waiting for half a glass of foam to settle, just experiment by chopping off or adding 500mm at a time untill you get a pour that suits you and the style of beer you're serving, pipe is cheap compared to the beer that might be wasted. cheers GHey Grmblz
What ID are your lines to be running at 2M and 1M lengths respecitively?
Cool, thanks.They're all 4mm EVABarrier from kegland, be aware that different pipe material will have different flow resistance although I think this is only really relevant in a commercial setting where pipe runs are many mtr's long, so if you have some other pipe I doubt it will make much difference.
