Kegging Setups

[big d]

first up thanks ross.i will be keeping an eager eye on my post box.
recieved my new font from gmk(thanks once again) yesterday and have spent this morning giving it a polish.font that is.the drip tray will need a good polish up to match the font but i will do that as time permits.anyway heres a photo from the original listing.i will get better pics later.due to my move later on in the year im not to sure if this font will sit idle or if i will make an outside bar for the time being.probably will make it portable.
cheers

Mark, i haven't seen taps that look anything like that for years!
hang on to those mate, they're Gold! :wub:

Mark, nice taps!
Multiplex huh? Gas or electric? hehe

 

[markws]

lads,

...my latest purchased arrived and has been installed......secondary reg's....can't say it was the cheapest purchase in the world but very affordable and less expensive than purchasing brand new...my kegging system is now complete with just a couple of minor mods to be done (such as replacing the inside plastic on the door to allow an additional keg).

Just got to finish the AG system in the next few weeks and I'll be a very happy man!!

cheers

I saw one of those about 6 months ago, with snaplocks but no taps, over at Ebay.
I regret now not bidding for it. I think it went for about $150.

Just moved my previously inside-mounted taps from to the fridge door and all is well.

No point in tap pics, just brumby units and an eBay drip tray on a dirty fridge door.

BUT, check out my beer lines...they are blue...cool


Working well too, plus with only a 0.187" internal diameter, exactly 2m of line per tap works great with my old carbonation/serving pressure/temperature...balanced systems rock it :super:

Fingerlickin,
Just for my morbid curiosity, what is your balanced pressure with 2m of beer line and brumby taps?

9psi, but the exact temp I am unsure of...whatever my fridge is at it's "2.5" setting...same temp I've always had it

Well below is a couple of pics of my home keg set up. When I started homebrewing I went straight onto kegging. I began with a one tap(swing) fridge. Held 3 kegs quite comfortably. Then the other half was getting a bit sad about all the brewing I was doing.( Oh and the consumption of my fine products) that I sold it to a mate.

I was once again unhappy. But I did keep a fermenter for Justin. Well we discussed it and she finally let me delve back into the art of brewing under the condition that I got her a new fridge. Happy me had a perfect excuse to use the old one for my new beer fridge. 2 taps this time. Much better system. I then got a mate to make the tray for me. :beer:

Well enough of that here are the pics.

Cheers

p.s. I plan to buy lots of stuff from GMK and try to make a bar as fantastic as his.

Finally some pics of my fridge.
Nothing special and because I didn't want to put it outside and have my beer or gas bottle stolen I've had to stick it inside where I can't fit a drip tray

But still all is good, now I can really enjoy my Homebrew whenever I want, no need to think about sticking some bottles in before I want to drink coz there's enough room for them, or there's the keg



My brother and me after first installing the tap



Tucked around the corner and the reason I can't fit the drip try, the door won't close :unsure:



Gas bottle between the fridge and washing machine. Cardboard there to try and keep it in place, floor's a little uneven and the washing machine being rather old shakes a lot







Didn't like the idea of drilling thru the side of the fridge and playing russian roulette with hitting a gas line. Fridge has a rear "shelf" to miss the compressor and the such, so went thru the bottom and sealed it off with Silicone. Seems to work.

Just a dodgy work around I came up with. because the gas line comes from the bottom, if you pull the keg out it falls exactly where you want to put the keg back in. So Now I just hang it up on the cable tie. :beer:
*missed a bit*

My little project....

 

[andrewl]

doesn't look like a little project pride....

 

[prideofthesouth]

It started out little but......
you know how things seem to get out of control

 

[Chilled]

Hey POTS
how did you go about piggy backing the two regs together? Did you just remove the 'contents' gauge from one and join that to the inlet of another? If so what did you use to join the two? Nice looking 'industrial' set up.

Here is a view you don't see very often, what's UNDER the bar .

 

[prideofthesouth]

Hey Chilled,
Regs came as is......good ol ebay....

Hi all, this is a quick post to show how simple and rough a keg set up can be. This is my crappy little bar fridge with room for one keg. I don't drink too much so couldn't be bothered drilling hole etc. Plus I'm in a two bedroom unit and I think I'm lucky to have been allowed this in the corner of the kitchen. I got the kegs from the U.S. and all the other bits from GMK. I top up the pouring pressure when required.
Anyway this was just to show all the people umming and ahhing that it can be done very simply and you can have lovely beer on tap but it doesn't look too pretty. Mind you, most blokes who've seen it have been pretty impressed (they haven't seen the elaborate set-ups some of the others on this forum have).
Cheers!!

I've since bumped it up to 1 bar.

This was after a mate complaining that the beer wasn't "fizzy enough" and didn't have enough head after a few were poured...I decided he was right! :chug:

First beer of any session comes out even frothier than before, but after that everything is still cool as a cucumber
