[Cortez The Killer]

[bitterman]

And I thought I had a problem

 

[Fatgodzilla]

Just scored 2 more engines!!!

They are in fairly good nick Will give them a good clean etc when I get a little time. I'll post a pic when all three engines are lined up and shiny

Cheers

 

[Cortez The Killer]

Why is everyone picking on me?

They were a bargain - it was criminal not to buy them

Imagine a Real Ale Fest without any beer engines

Your Honour I rest my case!

 

[drsmurto]

Will this real ale fest be doing a national tour CTK?

I keep telling my brother that each time he comes back to visit from the UK that he is required to bring me a beer engine.

Imagine a bar lined with these things. :super:

 

[Cortez The Killer]

For the last couple of years "Real Ale Fest" has been a key feature of the Illawarra Brewers Union calendar

Real ale is carbed up in casks (aka plastic cubes) and pumped from the tap on the cube through a beer engine

This was extremely popular amongst the IBU's and many members have jumped aboard the beer engine craze, even to the point where there were more beer engines attending Real Ale Fests than IBU's

This has since been curbed... somewhat

As an IBU astutely pointed out we are actually holding "Beer Engine Fests" where as in England at Real Ale Fests beer is normally dispensed directly from casks lifted onto a bar

I believe FGZ has been transporting the IBU engine about outside the Illawarra

I'm sure a discussion about beer engine world domination will ensue tomorrow at Big Ray's Big Brew Day and I'll get back to you when we have ironed out a national tour

Cheers

[Cortez The Killer]

I think it is

I haven't had a chance to look at them closely

I believe the other one is an Angram

Cheers

I wonder how many beer engines are up and running in Perth?

1. Vlad TPA

2. cdbrown (as of this Sunday) and then a 2nd engine in a month or so

OK these arrived today, as yet I have not even cleaned them up, far too excited !



I have hooked them up to a bucket of water and both work great, one has that sparkler thing other does not. I also have the brackets that hold a drip tray I suppose.
I would like to see a few pics if anyone else has a 'Hi-Gene' complete with the tray, and perhaps pick your brain a little regards set up.


Bragging over

It would be a rough temporary set up with perhaps a Scottish Ale, but hey if you guys are keen I'll give it a go.

Mmmmm, no

 

[Shed101]

So how do you dispense from a keg ... or do you put the beer in a polypin?
