Kegging Setups

[fixa]

the beer in the tap won't drain back unless there's a CO2 leak and one at the tap aswell, allowing air back through the tap... happy to be proven wrong though...

 

[Fents]

Got to ask, why are you insulating the CO2?

huhuh knew someone would ask.

edit - forgot the actual question - cosmetical.

In response to your extinguisher question, yes its co2. All co2 is the same, there is no difference from food use to fire extinguisher. Only difference with the extinguisher is the dip tube is removed so only the gas is released not the liquid co2.

Hope this helps.

Will look great with 5 more Shirrons lined up there B)

cheers Ross

 

[lucas]

lol, that's precisely the number I'm spacing them out for. one more on the right equally spaced, then two more in the gaps, then finally I'll swap out the swing tap.

Hey everyone, just finished this in the last week or so... little bit excited since then, I waited to take some pics of it until it had found its permanent home, which at right next to the TV is pretty bloody handy



As you can probably see all she needs is a drip tray to rest beers on and catch the mess and it will be all done for now... so anyone wanna hook me up with a free one?? ...........anyone?? Nah didnt think so....... I think Ross will be getting an order from me soon

Cheers

Stephen

 

[Cortez The Killer]

That is a sweet looking set up

Cheers

 

[Ross]

Here is my set up :chug:

 

[Zwickel]

after all that beautyful setups, I wont hideaway my "Service Station"



Prost :beer:

 

[reveler]

all these kegging setups makes me so jelous!

I am slowly collecting the things needed, but all i have so far is a Fridge and $120.

I am tempted to pass the hat around to all my friends who come over and enjoy my free beer!

oh well, I'll continue to save, I am going to do two lagers in the brew fridge and then put them into vessels for lagering untill I buy my keg setup in late october! that way I have 2 nice beers ready to go! Keep the ideas coming but!

 

[danman]

this is my setup for now,until the bar gets finished this is good enough i think
room for 6 kegs plus room to cc ontop of the compressor hump




cant wait till the job is finished-gets too hard after a few to lift the lid to get to the taps :huh:

cheers,dan

Hey Danman, you could put a collar around the top and then you could fit 8 kegs with taps on the front of the collar.

 

[Airgead]

Be it ever so humble...

 

[wisie]

Damn you guys have nice setups!

 

[Chris S]

Here's a couple of pics following the near completion of my chest freezer.
Hole is in place for a second tap, saving for another Celli.

After much reading on various threads and wiki's it all fell together without drama at all.

 

[drsmurto]

JG fittings :wub:

nice choice Chris!

 

[ruttager]

Ok, here are a few pics of my setup. The three tap flooded font seems to be a bit too much for it atm, so if anybody in the Perth area wants to swap it for a two tap flooded, pm me









Note: The freezer is brand new from k-mart (homemaker brand). It is a bit loud when it is running, so you may want to take that in account if you are putting this indoors.

 

[Bobby]

what size is the freezer ruttager? i have a nice shiny 4 tap font and i am in thr process of finding a chest freezer about the same size as yours.

 

[bconnery]

No pics yet but thanks to Jye for a free fridge and my wife and extend family for a super cool birthday present I will shortly have a fridge, three kegs and two taps set up downstairs!

Very excited!!

Plus I spent sometime at Ross's picking them up today which is always nice :chug:

 

[ruttager]

200L, 4 to 6 kegs (with a collar) fit in it pretty easily.

 

[Paul H]

Testing out my new digital camera & thought I'd take a photo of my pride & joy, (took some of the kids as well). I think I have a thing for chrome.

 

[deckedoutdaz]

You guys are TOTALY obsessed.....ITS ONLY BEER!!

Thats what she keeps saying to me!!!!!!......looking at these photos, hmmm....


You guys should all be proud.....hold your heads (or glasses) up HIGH!!!

 

[bonj]

ruttager's k-mart special looks identical to the old favourite Centrex 200L. I have the centrex and it fits 4 easily, and with a high enough collar, another 2 on the compressor hump.

 

[Henno]

The back verandah of my new house looks like a second hand white goods shop! Only one tap hanging off the old kegerator at the moment but 3 celi taps on the way from Ross this week will see 4 in total hanging off the collar on the freezer. I winged it with the computer cooling fan as I couldn't be bothered searching for pics on here of how to set one up. Does it look correct?

 

[Ross]

Does it look correct?

Henno,

Maybe lift it a bit nearer the top - You want to blow down all the warm air from the very top, otherwise your taps will be sat in trapped warm air.

cheers...Ross

 

[Henno]

Bugger! My guru told me that low down on the collar was the go as it would suck the warm air from above it to get the circulation.

The thing seems to put out bugger all air though it. I can barely detect a breeze on my hand.

 

[bconnery]

Another on the long list of kegging setups
My free fridge. Biggups to Jye for paying it forward...

The bling...

The inside

One happy man...

First post under the new forum stuff too. How flashy is the post editor now!

 

[Jye]

No worries Ben :beer:

I hope your first kegging experience went smoothly... and it seems that you are missing 2 taps
