Where are you guys buying replacement bulbs from?

 

[Zorco]

I won't run out till the MKIV bulk buy.

Then I was going to buy big. Not sure after that.

Attach disconnect first ,place spring in centre ,line up tap and push together.It's a bit fiddly to put together but it works ok.
This one might be better if you have one.

Can confirm this works, I used the bottom universal type one
Has anyone else noticed the taps flow at a tiny trickle if you have over 100kpa/14psi in the tank?
I took my tap apart and lubed all orings with keg lube, don't know if it was just gummy from manufacture and my quick cleaning

 

[mtb]

Is there a reg out there which is set to a single pressure - ie 10psi? I realised lately that I only ever use my minikeg reg at pouring pressure so I don't really need an adjustable one, and I figure a non-adjustable reg would be cheaper / less prone to breakage (due to less moving parts)

Got some, woot!

Been humming and hawing over a 2lt jobbie, I think that photo has me convinced.

Edit: Just like me old mate above

 

[Kingy]

It's only good for 1 person tho, my misses just robbed me of my last schooner lol. Now I'll have to walk down the shed in the rain [emoji299]️

Well I will have 4 of the 5lt ones, I was thinking a 2lt for BYO dinners?

 

[peekaboo_jones]

First time user here, my kegs arrived this week from ATHB. just fill directly from the fermenter, connect as per instructions?
Should I test a run with water before beer?

 

[Kingy]

Yea that's what I do but I don't take gas or a tap I just use the lid. Undo and pour as required then replace lid. I got my 2litre from the Australian brewery for $40 filled with one of there beers and the beer can heads fit.
Next time I go I'll be getting another one.
When my old man drops in I usually send him home with 2litres from the keg.
There is good use for the 2litre cans but I like my 5litre ones better.
