Kegging Setups

[OzPaleAle]

Why Keg?
Because i almost lost an eye from an exploded bottle =(

Edit to add, thats all that was left of the bottle and a chunk flew up and left a gash on the bridge of my nose. soooo lucky!

Almost had this happen last week in the heat, heard a bang, went to investigate found sprayed glass all over the garage, then heard bang again and got a nice glass shower......
Very happy to be kegging after that, these were a few strays from pre-kegging.

Who said those ads they put on here aren't brewing related!!! Followed the bar fridge banner ad and dug this up!

Maybe I HAVE to have a place of my own so I can justify setting this up?!

Just clicked on the link and had a bloke pop up and ask me if he can help me with the purchase of a bar fridge.........that what I call getting the most out of your advert :lol:

No thanks.

it was a thin one designed to be recycled, all those bottle are either in the bin or awaiting drinking then destined for the bin!
Only coopers PA longies / old pickaxe now.

It was the culmination of overpriming + the heat (the shed mush have been 35-45DegC) + thin glass.

Very well done. With an end result like that you'd be glad you did spend that bit extra time planning.

That bar looks amazing, love the tower as well.

I'm looking at getting into kegging and am trying to find myself a good deal in Perth for a new one. Can anyone recommend anywhere in Perth they have purchased from? http://www.brewmart.com.au/brewmart-shop/catalogue/?detail&ItemID=2365&SZIDX=0&CCODE=17006&QOH=0&CATID=196&CLN=1 this seems to be pretty average for a complete 3 tap system @$1400, seem about right?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

you might be better off putting one together yourself, or keeping an eye out for 2nd hand setups.. deals come up fairly often.

That price could be ok, but it would want to include a premium stainless steel font, good quality taps, a 6.8kg (full) co2 bottle, premium disconnects, etc etc. If all the components are cheapies, then $1,400 is exxy.

Thanks for the replies, I was initially looking at a KK style as it is ready to go and looks very good and clean, also front loading means less lifting (how much should I worry?)

I assumed making a keezer from new components would end up around the same price.. Is that true?
