Mini Keg Bulk Buy MKIV

[benju63]

Definitely interested, would you mind to add me?

 

[user 31093]

When attached are the stainless disconnects shorter than the plastic ones? I'm scrimping for height savings where possible, the other advantage is the 90 degree line out saves maybe 10mm because the FFL to barb won't angle upward.

Reckon it would it be possible to get a pair of plastic gas and a pair of stainless liquid? Or are these packaged as pairs?

Cheers!

I think these are dangerous.

They circumvent the inclusion of a PRV.


Having said that, I'm not sure what the failure mode of a tank would be.... a tiny tear maybe... just pissing out beer and ruining the tank.. Probably not that dangerous.

But I don't know metals and fabrication. Safer than a bottle bomb

I ordered one a week ago but yet to receive and try it out. I do have a couple of mini kegs that are sitting un-carbed so happy to test out soon using the reg and bulbs update on this thread.

Things I am curious about:
-How I can nail the right carb level without too much trial and error
-How I can switch this carbonation cap off and then the spear head in without too much mess!?

Any advice appreciated but I am planning to do it out on the balcony

G'Day pat86,

- Other people are far better than me at nailing carbonation levels (force carbonating you mean?), and there are plenty of threads out there to find.
- Once carbonated, relieve head pressure, unscrew carb cap and quickly screw on the spear. Make sure your keg is nice and cold. That should work out.

yes the SS disconnects are shorter, looks like about 25mm difference, in the photo it is a 2L mini keg the plastic one is about 410mm tall, the SS is about 385mm tall. and your tap sits at a different angle.

Any chance ATHB might want to add this to the bulk buy list of parts?

For those with mini kegs and intertaps, it would make a good way to do keg to keg transfers without needing to do much

That's handy mate.
Time is running out but I'll ask Mark what he thinks in the morning.

We are also talking about neoprene keg covers soon. There is some interest in the BeerKat ones and we are going to see if integrating them into the orders will work somehow.

Message Mark and see if he minds you buying it separately (if he has them)

I'm ordering a few other smaller things through his store to take advantage of the bundled shipping

 

[Batz]

I don't think anyone but Mark on this Bulk Buy.

 

[Aydos]

Considering beerkat is offering the kegs at the same price including the neoprene cover that would be pretty awesome if mark threw them in for this bulk buy

They are? Thought they said they'd match prices but by my calculations even with the 10% off the BB was still cheaper.

Not to say I won't buy from beerkat, I absolutely intend on getting something from them again, hopefully in another bulk buy!

 

[Clarkholio]

Hey Zorco,
I'm in for 1 x 5l combo if the order isn't consolidated yet.

 

[Zorco]

Get in there... TeePee for your bunghole

That would include free shipping the metro areas as well.

Has anyone got neoprene jackets for the mini kegs they already have? how well do they work?
when trialling the sample I got in they only helped slow warming by 2 or 3 degrees an hour compared to no jacket, not sure if it was just me not giving it a good enough test or not, but thought I wouldn't bother with them and look around to find a better solution.
I can get neoprene jackets if needed, but if Beerkat has already offered i might leave it for them.

I'll see what i can do, i have been trying to get stock of these from kegking for months but every time i have asked they say they are waiting on stock.

these can be added to the bulk buy if there is interest.

I think they work well for what they are intended for. Pull a keg from the fridge put the jacket on and drink it with a few mates, mini-kegs don't last long with a few mates around. I don't think they are a long term solution, think a stubbie holder.

If I wanted something like that I'd just pop it in an esky.
