You will get no argument from me.

I am trying to save to do the 4 keg deal on CB website...but everytime I get about $100 aside it tends to get spent.

Mortgage, car, meagre but decent lifestyle- not easy to save on Austudy. Do you think if I rang them with my Health Care and Student Card numbers I could get a student discount? h34r: (I managed to squeeze "student" in the sentence twice in order to avoid any potential stigma).

I suppose I could get a job while studying.

But seriously...

I've said it before and i'll say it again...
if you want to keg and you're afraid of the startup price... you could always do this;

CO2 Keg Charger + Disconnect $43.50
CO2 Keg Charger Bulbs - 16GM (5 pack) $19.90
1 Keg - 19L Cornelius (Used) $70.00
Bronco Faucet & Hose $14.90
Quick Disconnect Barb (Beer) $13.50
Total: $161.80... yes less than 200 clams and you're the envy of all your mates... or at least you may get some :wacko:

So less than the cost of 3 cartons of LCPA (around $60 last i looked)... i used to buy 1 a week before Homebrew!

Then in time upgrade to CO2 bottle, reg, fridge mounted taps (or kegerator), etc, etc.

The above is my party keg setup, which sits in an ice bath in an esky. So you won't be wasting anything when you do add to the setup.

....argh....errr....feeling my arm - being - - - twisted...


I didn't want to start asking about kegging stuff because I have actually read the wiki article and didn't want to get barked at haha.

So these three: 1 Keg - 19L Cornelius (Used) $70.00, Bronco Faucet & Hose $14.90
Quick Disconnect Barb (Beer) $13.50

are all obviously keepers (can be used over the long term),

and the CO2 Keg Charger + Disconnect $43.50 and
CO2 Keg Charger Bulbs - 16GM (5 pack) $19.90...are the temporary method to gas and dispense.

So with another 19L keg and a second beer disconnect and gas disconnect I can use the same Bronco thing, CO2 keg charger and the CO2 keg charger bulbs?

How many bulbs (and how often) get used per keg? I'm just flat-out asking rather than searching now ...blame Argon (and I must say the slabs of LCPA defence is an underhanded way to convince me - you know I don't need LCPA when I have LFPA).

I actually do have a few weeks work coming up as an academic mentor for O Week and the first semester of Uni....hmmm....

If you want a second keg all you need is another keg... just move the tap to the bronco to the other keg. Simple. Don't need anything else.

How many bulbs (and how often) get used per keg?

I usually use 1 per keg. Pretty much start off with it already carbed. It will dispense by itself like that for a while. The charger doesn't hold a constant pressure into the keg. It's like a little aerosol can. You'll notice when pressure drops off. Just give the charger a little squeeze to up the pressure again.

I'm just flat-out asking rather than searching now ...blame Argon (and I must say the slabs of LCPA defence is an underhanded way to convince me - you know I don't need LCPA when I have LFPA).

Yes... i've used that before to great success h34r:

Note that it is a relatively expensive way to dispense your beer... but is a great start up package. Regulator and Bottle are typically the biggest expenditure (next to a fridge... mine was free ) But i bet as soon as you get kegs in the house you'll go out of your way to get a bottle and a reg. Which IIRC, reg for $50-100 and bottle rent for about a tenner a month. So not huge... just another couple of slabs

Watched UFC 126 last night, Anderson Silva v Vitor Belfort. OMG what a finish! Standing kick to the FACE! I almost spat my beer all over the TV! Admittedly Belfort is no middleweight, would have cut heavily to make weight and is past his prime. But still, a kick to the face will do it most times.

Silva is head and shoulders above anyone pound for pound. What he did to Griffin was hilarious... especially as Griffin came out and said he was made to feel like a toddler in that fight. Then to back up and submit Sonnen after he questioned the validity of his BJJ black belt. GOLD.

You think that's a good finisher? Wait 'til you see this shit!:

Best finish to an MMA fight I have seen in a while..

and what about Jon Jones... His V Rua will be an absolute CRACKER!!

and....

Will we see Silva V GSP?

Re kegs, How many kegs do you guys have on the go at once? What are you using for cooling them?
Some of us don't have room for a chest freezer to have umpteen kegs on the go. (No matter how awesome that would be).
The push to move to kegs is so frustrating sometimes. Every time I get a bottle bomb... geez, "Go kegs Pete, go kegs."
I like to live dangerously, and still have 10 different beer styles in the fridge.

edit: Just wondering what you guys do, who have lots of kegs, but a small serving fridge. Obviously you have to plan ahead if you want a schooner of warm beer.

GSP is just too small to come up a division and fight Silva. I don't think Silva could go down a division either. He's a big middleweight and has already had a few fights in light heavyweight.

To be a contender in light heavyweight would be more interesting to see, but he'd have to put on alot of weight to fight the bigger guys in the division. But saying that, he embarrassed Griffin, who gets around at 100kg plus before cutting to weigh-in.

Apparently Silva-GSP is on if GSP gets past Shields.. (which he should because Shields has to cut too much weight - Looked terrible against Kampmann)

GSP needs to test himself.. He has cleaned out 170.

Problem with Silva going to 205 is Rua is the champ and they dont want to fight because the are/were teammates.. (thats if Jones doesnt become champ..)

Now there is a fight...

Jones V Silva

With GSP V Silva even if GSP is as good a striker as Silva, the bigger taller guy will always have the advantage.

Jones V Silva would definitely be good to see. Jones is a big 205 and Silva is so accurate. Nice match up.
The only way to beat Silva is to do what Sonnen did. Get him down and give him no room. That fight was one way, he just got caught.

That's the good thing about UFC; it's controlled by 1 guy that dictates who fights who... within reason of course.

Just get some kegs and a fridge Pete. 3 fit in my 350L or so fridge, with a freezer on top. 1 fits in my barfridge w/ gas bottle inside. I have 6 kegs in total in rotation.

Cheers - Mike

CrazyTank is a genius.

Hybrid chimpanzees (a member of the canine family) have fingers in their mouths to stop bitten animals getting away? Sounds brutal. **** fighting one of those guys.

I love how the discussion just automatically assumed that the chimp would attack the balls... :lol: that site is now in the favourites

the guy is a bit of a nutbag making some pretty out there claims. But credit where credit's due. The guy knows his shit. Some of the stuff he was doing on his TV show was pretty cool

Just upgraded (?) to internet explorer 9 and now all the quotes have dotted lines through them.
Anyone else experienced the same?
