poured a 5 and a 4 over christmas on one gas bulb. was very happy.

These little kegs are going to allow me to brew more often if I can get the beer mobile and let others drink it!

Precisely why I got these. No way my drinking can keep up with how often I want to brew.

 

[VP Brewing]

Just got this portable setup going. Cooler bag was $39 from Kmart.

Xmas...
Double kegs in action.



Carbonation Cap used as a connector


Dunkleweizen (2.5 Co2/Vol)


Hefeweizen (3.3 Co2/Vol)


NYE...
Mini Keg with tap only (forgot to bring the regulator h34r.
Decided not to use PRV as needed the carbonation pressure to dispense. Slow pour and 5 minute intervals, managed to serve 3/4 of 5L.



Happy 2017 folks!

Really stoked with these, I bought them from Beerkat who currently have them on special. I believe they will be fantastic for a BBQ with a few mates, take the keg out of your fridge, fit the stubby holder and away you go.
Very well made and a great fit.
Never bought from Beerkat before so no affiliation blar blar. Just a happy customer.

$16.00 for the 5lt one.

Yes free shipping to capital cities, although worked for me as well. :beerbang:

 

[nosco]

Dam couldnt get free shipping. Pretty sure I am in metro Melbourne.

I just got free shipping to Glen Iris (3146). Maybe try a Australia Post Parcel Locker.

 

[Glomp]

I got free shipping to Bendigo so it probably depends who their courier is and if they have an office in the town you live in

Sorted. Thanks SD!

 

[peekaboo_jones]

Sweet I just ordered 2x 5L. Will work well till I build my kegski

 

[Bones99]

Soooo, anyone else have a problem with the welding on the top plate where the side seam meets?

Pretty pissed off at the moment as I just filled my second 5l with some goodness to take to a meet tomorrow, whacked the gas on and heard air escaping and beer bubbling at the seam.

I have video but don't know how to upload. Hopefully the pic will show enough.

 

[Zorco]

Photo shows it just fine mate. I heard there was one other and Mark sorted it in a day. I can't remember if you're in Brisbane. I've got two spare if you want to borrow mine.

 

[Bones99]

Thanks Zorco, yep in Brisbane but I have another (just have to drink the 2l in it which won't be a problem and then transfer across, ) I could just do without it tonight after an arse kicking at work all week and receiving 4 out of 6 SN tulips delivered broken yesterday..... when it rains...

Thanks for the offer though, you're a champ.

 

[Zorco]

That's a **** grouping of beer problems. Well, good that you've paid up front and have a trouble free 2017 to enjoy.



If something else random happens, give me a shout.

 

[Bones99]

Such 1st World problems I'm having....

Cheers mate, what's your mobile number so next time I can't get a taxi I'll give you a call

 

[Zorco]

Or if you pull a Swedish tourist and are feeling a bit too sleepy to make it back to hers....

 

[Bones99]

That will never happen... The sleepy bit that is

 

[mattyg8]

Anyone had any more luck with the mini rega had it replaced and just not responsive. Such a bummer as its an awesome kit!

 

[SBOB]

still waiting on some answers/feedback from Mark/Matt at ATHB
I had one replaced, but the replacement had the same issue

Others on here have had the same problem, but I havent seen a conclusive 'solution' yet

 

[Zorco]

Did you catch my post on unscrewing the bulb a bit. It improved flowrate a lot on that occasion. It may be possible the flow choke is happening at the bulb face from the barb.

 

[barls]

could it be the hole on the gasket being too small and when the bulb screwed up it closes the passage for gas down to a minimum

yep,tried that on mine with zero difference...until i unscrewed it too far and then the co2 came out much faster, but not in the direction i wanted )

 

[Kingy]

I fixed mine it was a combination of screwing the bulb in to tight and screwing the regulator in to tight. Backed them both off a little and away she went.
