Show Us Your Beer Engines

Settle Sav, (he's probably out the back paddock mustering some hippies).

Out in the back paddock slashing Perry and Sav. Mate I was very lucky and happened across someone in Brissy selling them, I had given up all hope of ever owning one myself. Have said this I have learned their are a couple in a second shop in Esk, best ring first.

AFAIK polypins are not available in Australia

you can buy plastic collapsible water bags from Bunnings that look nearly exactly like polypins. I believe they work exactly the same as well.

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



Page #11 Post 219 by cdbrown, looks good to me.

If you get a check valve like this one Batz:



you can connect straight to a regular corny without having to alter the lid.

I got one from Barley Belly & it works a treat.

The suction line is 1/2", I would have thought reducing it down to the pick up tube would cause problems.

doesn't appear to as it works fine

edit - If you have a look at Cortez' pic on page 11 at post#206 he has one installed as well.

Cheers, I better contact BB

 

[FNQ Bunyip]

you would think that with the number of these getting around now one of our site sponsers would have all the bits on hand ...

Would love too have a beer engine setup one day ..

cheers

Here's a fella in England using a collapsible camping container as a polypin and recycling CO2 from fermenter to keep it conditioned.

Nice thinking John.

Another bloke who'd have some ideas on keg/handpump setups is Ashley Huntington of 2 Metre Tall Brewery in Tassie.

He fits handpumps in some of the pubs there. Not sure how he does it, but this might be useful info. to someone.


... one day i'll be doing it, but I don't get through enough beer to set things up properly. Perhaps if I had a spare fridge I could set at 10c with a 'caskalike' system.

I'am amazed Mark's Home Brew doesn't stock this stuff, he's got everything else that a bit different.

Mark does stock stuff for them, he also sells reconditions ones as well.

\going to my local hb shop tomorrow hoping he will have a sparkler

Was given a sparkler by Cliff the shop owner so tried a few pints with and without. Have to say although the sparkler creates a magnificent head there is a definite noticeable loss of flavor. So personally I will always choose flavor over presentation, still a decent looking pint with a fair head.

I went to BYB house, he just had a hose in a freshly chilled ESB fermenter. Most memorable beer ive ever had.

Just a couple pics on how simple it can be setting up. BTW that's not me in the photo. (I'm just a tad uglier :lol: but not by much)





KHB having a pull <_< so to speak :lol:




Great head
