Kegging Setups

[seifer]

Astroturf in the garage, brilliant!

Balcony actually, the turf was left over from a superbowl party I threw, is a little worn now however..

Heres the reverse view

and the turf in action

And a Datsun front end????

Its a mini, hence the name of the bar. Its a BBQ under the hood, working headlights, under car neons etc etc.

 

[Spiesy]

Got my keezer basically finished finally. Have 2 kegs hooked up currently(still carbing up).

Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Tap handles are just some branches I found in the back yard.

Brew/man cave coming together

Wow....

Finally got round to tarting up the keggy....

a mate came around with some chalkboard vinyl, we had a few ideas, but decided on this one at the last minute, just for something different:

 

[kegs23]

my set up,1200 wide freezer,5 perlick flow control tap ,i can fit 9 kegs nice and snug but you have to place them the right way, i put a computer fan in to get air flow so i used some conduct to pull the cold air from the bottom and it just pushes together with 90deg bends and just velco it to stay in place,made to coller out of aluminium freezer planel i had laying around, i also made a potable 19L keg esky aswell,i all so just used rubber pulldown straps to hold the lid closed as i did not put hingers on the lid as i had limited space behind my bar i really handy to be able to list the lid right off and the cold air stays in the freezer i can have the lid off for a good 5 min with out the temp going up at all,

ll i need now is a drip tray instead of the big red bucket,

 

[Amber Fluid]

Nice system Kegs. I have been searching for a long time for a tray for me and have found THESE to be the cheapest in Australia.

What size barbs are on your manifold and where did you get them from?... I have the same manifold but found the barbs were too big. With a lot of fighting and stuffing around I managed to get my lines on.

Have you had any problems with regards to the temp controller mounted in the freezer?... I assume it is mounted in its own box then that into your collar.

Almost got mine ready to hook up. 420lt Westinghouse fridge that holds 4 kegs.
Andale Floryte taps with panel extensions & a 500mm x 180mm stainless drip tray.
Tesuco 3 gauge regulator hooked up to a 4 way gas manifold in the fridge.

Nice setup Crusty!

Did you get that drip tray from the Barware site....I'm looking at getting one very similar for a 5 tap setup?

Did you have any concerns drilling in to the door to mount the drip tray or doesn't it really matter too much with the door as there isn't any pipes going through it that can be damaged?

Cheers

Hi Molly.
I actually got the gear from Andale beer dispensing equipment in Sydney ( somersby )
No problems with drilling in the front, no pipes anywhere. The drip tray came with two stainless self tapping screws & they are simply screwed 3/4 of the way into the door & the tray can lift off to clean.

yeah had a lot of trouble getting the line onto the manifold (took one out and was going to replace with john guest fitting but the barbs have a really short therd on them so i dont think new fittings would work,,,its only gas so i guess i could look for a 8mm to 6mm barb and mabe run a small bit of larger hose then go to a quick release john guest fitting,,,,,i split to hoses trying to get them on,alot of stuffing around but all good now,,,,,,,,,the temp control is mounted in 50mm aluminium freeze planel with a jiffy box on the other side to hide the wires,all seem to be working good,,,,,,,brought the 1st freezer made coller for it and the freezer never worked(brought from appliances on line) they delived a new on 2 days later,and i plug it in to make sure it worked 1st before no more gapping the collar down,

 

[Westaussiebrewer]

OK guys i thought i would post pictures of my setup now that it is complete and i am happy

this was my first setup



then along came a chest freezer at just the right price that suited my needs, and after talking to a fellow AHB member (Bruce) the collar was made
thanks for all your help bruce this thing is amazing

and here are the pics




and to make this all better it all sits an a old pallet on wheels that just happens to fit nicely in the back of the Hilux if i need to transport it

once again thanks for all your help Bruce

 

[bruce86]

no worries mate. looking forward to the next build. the keggles and bar seem like a good spot

 

[Helles]

Got this off of E bay for $50
Added a collar for $ 40
Already had taps and everything else
Fits 7 kegs and has been working perfectly
Stainless steal inside so wasnt worried about Bait smell and rightly so

This now looks like this


Redgum bar is on its way

Looks fancy mate. Secondary regs with another reg on the bottle? Interesting. How much?
oh btw, are those hose clamps perfectly round internally? I had something similar and they were causing leaks due to the internal shape not being perfectly circular and creating a gap when tightened.

 

[Dunkelbrau]

I paid 20 per reg from a guy on eBay! Kept an eye out for months!

The main reg is on the bottle running into the 4 to set each keg different if needed.

The clamps are something I've been keeping an eye on, I did check how round they are, and if its smaller than 6mm it didn't stay round, I've got 8mm ID on all gas lines with 8mm barbs, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on it.
