Kegging Setups

[wide eyed and legless]

Wonder of this is the reason refusal was given in regards to advertising on the other site?

Where did you purchase the shank extension? It's hard to find 5/8inch all thread.

G'day mate, i made the shank extension myself out of 1" stainless shaft, bored the whole way through to 5/16" and then i got a mate to screw cut the internal and external threads which are 7/8" unf. I kept everything in imperial measurement as that is what the tap is.

Hello sap0rk. We were under the impression that sponsors were able to comment on any thread they like provided that it was relevant to the subject on the thread.

In addition to this we raised the question with a number of forum members and it appeared to us that the forum members were of the opinion that as long as the information was accurate and informative then they were not fussed if it came from a sponsor or a member of the public.

What does seem to be against the rules is certain forum members who are actually retailers but then commenting under alias profiles. We have noticed that this seems to be happening quite a bit recently.

At the end of the day we believe a healthy vibrant forum should involve processionals in the industry, domestic customers, and a broad range of members that bring different views to the table. You will always have some forum members that will have a motive to actually sell product or influence the public in one direction. One way to try and address this issue is to make sure all retailers are shown as being retailers. We have tried to make our profile clearly say "KegLand" for this reason and in many posts that we have maid we also specifically say "we have some bias as we sell the products".

If it was a blatant ad with no content then I see why people would complain.
But an answer to a question with a link to the suppliers products I don't see as a major issue.

Just a member though not a moderator or anything.

Maybe like here

They dug up another OLD thread just to post a video highlighting their wares
https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/cleaning-and-sterilising.15680/

And here (I feel this is still inserting their product, even if it is asking for a comparison)

And again here, where they are told again by a mod, NOT TO DO IT (this is the same thread as above)

Let's just all agree that Stokesy has won the arms war on kegging set ups with the first domestic walk in unit.
You can all take the arguments into the room, we'll shut the door and finish the beer from outside. Just promise not to unplug the lines

Hi everyone, I am looking at setting up a small portable set up in my homemade chilly bin. I want little kegs with ball locks. I met some Aussie brewer in oamaru who mention 6L ones which will work great in my 3 tap set up.

Can you show me where to find these skippy?

 

[H0U5ECAT]

The (almost) complete, new Stinky Dog Brewery. Just need to install the font again and do a little more aesthetic details.

See the build over in the DIY section.

 

[Stokesy]

Looks great mate, love your brewery name.

 

[Stokesy]

My beer fridge so far, nearly finished.

 

[Lionman]

Nearly finished my new keezer.

 

[Stokesy]

Looks great mate [emoji106][emoji482][emoji482]

 

[altone]

Nice one! I've only got a 2keg 1 tap fridge that's almost dead

I needed to make my keg setup mobile for a party last year. The result, R2Beer2. Double skinned esky made from 209 litre barrel, dustbin, insulation foam and bits of plumbing with a soda stream gas supply built in. Takes 25 litre kegs. Worked a treat.

This is mine just finished her she holds 6 cornies and co2 as well

Mate - that thing looks like C3PO from Starwars! Next mod is to put a small engine in it and have it walk around on wheels.

 

[Stokesy]

That is a great idea[emoji106][emoji482][emoji482]

Arrgghh! no! C3PO looks like this:

It kind of looks like R2D2 Hence the name.

Hasn't everyone seen those movies hundreds of times like me? No? Oh!

I want to make one that looks like this:

 

[chesl73]

Ah yes, shame on me...how did I get that one wrong!

 

[batfastard]

I want to make one that looks like this:

That would make it a 'Bar-lek'

 

[chesl73]

And the bar-lek would say...

 

[chesl73]

We will intoxicate!

 

[eyeofthebeerholder]

Nearly finished my new keezer.

What model is that chest freezer? What's the internal dimensions?

I went ahead and ordered a Westinghouse WCM2900WD (not the same as above). After measuring, it appears it will hold 6x 19L kegs.

I'll report back here on how it goes!

Hey Brewpeeps,
Thought id share an update on my new keezer build. Struggled with a 6 keg fridge, and the mrs drinks a **** tonne of soda water, so bit the bullet and upscaled.

Westinghouse 700L freezer, with a custom steel frame underneath on wheels so I can move the behemoth around.

Designed to take 2 x 50L kegs, 6-8 x 19L & 2 x 9.5L cornies.

Micromatic secondary regs to control each 50L keg and the larger cornies all setup through a main line system.

5 of Perlick 650SS flow controls to finish off.

Just need to arrange a drip tray, thinking of running a 1500mm shower drain across the front. Any other suggestions?

Cheers
Caney

Love the use of structural timber beams as the collar. That lid isn't going to collapse on the collar is it! hahaha

 

[Stokesy]

Nice setup mate, how do ya go lifting the full 50L kegs in?

 

[caney]

Its a little difficult with a full one, but can be done with the help of the mrs.
My plan is to fill them in situ, just need to setup my new fermenting rig, so I can do pressurised transfers from the brewtech chronical to keg.
