Kegging Setups

[raven19]

I'm off to the USA this weekend and I can't decide how many taps and hops to buy... 15kg spare luggage.... Freezer has space for 3 more kegs!!

Nice build, buy as many as you can justify!

... guest beer only....

You mean (V)isitors (B)eer..

Good job though. I bet you can't wait to populate the other tap holes.

after 9 years of brewing i'm kicking myself for not getting kegs earlier, won't be long befor i get some more kegs and taps, eventually a beer machine for my english beers. my old man would be proud

Got stuck into mine after a busy time changing jobs/being really crook, got 2 sides, the lid and compressor door painted, my temp controller is painted, I've just got to fill and stain the collar and drill the gas line hole, and attach the collar and I'm ready to rock and roll I believe! Pics will come when im near a pc

Anybody have any experience with these:

Looking for something capable of 5-6 kegs and for the price with 12mth warranty this is looking pretty good? Only issue is cutting a couple of holes in the lid for taps probably kills any warranty!

use a collar instead an theres no warranty issue

Yeah that would great Yippie! Something around 300L size or capable of at least 5 x cornies and Co2 bottle, without a collar ideally. Got my heart set on using a font tower over a collar. I'm leaning towards the one in the link otherwise.

Keen for a brew day!

As an example, you can build a collar and still use a font tower, that's how I'm building mine. It does take up more space, but here's a construction pic:

The section on the right will be a 'shelf' and the font mounted to that. The bottle hangs down underneath. I'm yet to buy a font.

I also have a 4 tap font and a collar. Means you don't have to drill the freezer and you don't have to keep the gas in the fridge...










I just screwed a cheapy kit cupboard to the collar and drilled through that way for all the lines.

Here is my 4 tap collar build, its not ready to roll yet, but it certainly is getting there, next weekend I'm hoping to pour the first glass!

I got a bit bored the other weekend so I knocked this little beauty up. As you can see I went a bit crazy.

Fits 2 kegs and gas lines connected.

Base frame made up.

Frame complete. Had some mods after this to remove the higher front section so that the lid could be hinged from the frame.

Testing the system. mmmmmm cider!

Getting everything to fit correctly.

Finished view from the handle end. It is very easy to push around.

View from the serving side.

View from the serving side. ST101 temp controller installed.

Fully loaded wagon. Fits either 2 extra kegs above the wheels or the Honda generator.

New Stainless Perlick, flow controller and stainless shank. Pours like a dream.

It runs on mains when we are at home but when we go to the dam for a picnic (100m down our property) or out camping I can run it on the generator. It makes for may interesting conversations with family that all now know i'm an alcoholic.
