IBU Beer Engines from Real Ale Fest 3
Mine is the not so shiny one of the right
You'll also note that my engine has an external check valve installed as it didn't come with the internal one intact - it must have had an inline one installed when mounted in the pub it was in
Before I realised what the issue was the engine was pulling air back through the spout on the return stroke as there wasn't any back pressure on the piston
This is the check valve I went for http://www.caravansplus.com.au/catalog/pro...roducts_id=5611 it does the job well
John Guest do one as well but in 12mm OD which is a bit fiddly to install the 1/2"ID tube required at the engine, cube and keg post ends
On the day we dispensed from 16L cubes which had been primed with sugar and also from kegs
Several different styles of beer went through the engines including bitters, milds, irish reds, stouts, wits and a couple of lagers
The latter non typical styles received some mixed reviews
Cheers
