30 mins from the goldcoast - but more than happy to come & pick you up, if you fancy a few homebrews & maybe a beer or 2 in town. just send me a pm nearer the time :)

cheers Ross
 
ha ha.....
i should set up a little travel agency... organising trips up to Ross's bar!

i even know of a great shuttle service that knows its way to ross's ;)
 
I watched TomCruise in filum 'Cocktail 'and Ross I dont think that bar is going to be wide enough for you to do your pelvic gyrations to entertain the punters from
'Kongs guided tours inc'

Pumpy

Get dropped off here mate - & I'll gladly sort you a lift home :beer:

I live about an hr Nth of Coffs...and have good beer..call in if you like...

Having been to Ross's, I can only say that it is highly recomended...

The only trouble is that after sampling the 10th beer, the pool table seems to get bigger and bigger....and the pinball machine gets faster and faster....

Hey Ross - I only live about 12 hours from you.
Could you pick me up while you are picking up the others? I am pretty much on the way.
:)
 
Progress pics on the new bar - excuse the junk everywhere:

Shamed by others on the forum to doing some bits myself - The shelf & upright beam are my input so far...
Font being plumbed in at the weekend, all going well.
Got a cooker & sink behind the bar - Fridge & all the other rubbish will go, once beer is flowing from the new font.

Here's a preview from the serving side - I'll post final pics when I've got the beer decal badges done & the bar finished...

Cheers Ross...

Ross the publican :lol:

The font looks great chilled :beerbang:
 
WOW!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

What else can one say? :blink:
 
Nice work Ross, that's Beaut. ;)

Lucky bugger B) it's what we all dream about.

Borret :blink:
 
Bloddy ripper Ross! Looks like a system brewers can only dream of :p would be a bit ott for me but it makes me want one like it :)
 
Bloody hell Ross...the local will lose all it's customers!

Will you always have 10 kegs full to connect to those 10 taps?

Very impressive indeed...one could only dream to build another small house in the backyard to have a bar/games room/theatre/man area to accomodate such items!
 
If the top is Redgum you'll have trouble making dents with your glass... the bum of the glass will go first. Queensland Ironbark is tougher again, but is not as red when machined and sealed

An uncle of mine has a coffee table with a huge slice of Redgum mallee root, where the trunk of a dead tree is sliced across and about 8 coats of lacquer were applied, but the character is fantastic. Irregular shape and the veins within the wood highlight it...my dream bar top!
 
The font is chilled by a glycol unit (set at 3c currently) & I also have 2 beers going through S/S coils in the unit to give me 2 nicely chilled beers (weizen & Oktoberfest).

Gotta love the sweat pouring off the 10 tap font :party:

Very nice indeed, wish I was there on such a nice day to sample your brews :lol:

That is truly spectacular.....very nice chilling unit :super:

edit posted after more pics

Yes, & If it was any closer, I'd be sat behind it :D

++++

While connecting up the kegs - despite double checking - 1 tap was open, lost approx 12L of Imperial Stout all over the floor - a touch too much for the driptray to handle - Spent the last few hours cleaning the carpet... & things had been going sooo smoothly...
 
Did you end up getting much carpet stuck in your teeth cleaning the beer out of it? :chug: :p
