This looks like a bulk buy opportunity to me, unless Ross wants to get some in?

Scott

 

[Jye]

Im interested in some.

 

[Batz]

I think "Craftbrewer" should think about stocking these.

Not much good to me with kegs in a converted freezer,I wouldn't be able to see it.

Nice idea.
Hopefully it works better than the ones you can get for propane gas bottles.
It would take away the surprise of an empty keg after only getting half a pint out of it when getting home from work.

Just the sort of thing I wish to stock - I've already dropped micromatic a line - I'll keep you all posted.

Cheers Ross

Top idea!. how many times do you wonder " will i get just one more pint" !!

As I read it, these work with the standard 50l kegs as well as some other sizes I'm not familiar with. The web site states "Compatible Kegs 1/2, 50 Liter, 1/4 Slim, 1/6th" To me that means it works with 50l, 25l, 12.5l & 8.33l kegs

If these were for the coke/pepsi 18l corny type kegs most of us use, I agree they would take the guess work out of determining if there is still a beer or 3 left in the keg & I'd probably get a couple.

Ross can you see of they are available for cornies as well?

My main interest is for corny's, so certainly will

Cheers Ross

 

[Beerpig]

I would imagine they work in a similar way to the gas bottle ones (ie temperature difference)

The results would also be similar

Cheers

 

[Asher]

But how do they work.... I reckon they'd be the same as the BBQ gas bottles as Doc said.... You have to pour hot water on them and wait to gat a reading.

Anyway what's wrong with the tap & lift methods?

Asher for now

Nothing - But I reckon being able to open your fridge & give them a quick squirt with warm water to check their level, would be far more convieniant, especially in a cramped fridge...

I'd be guessing the 1/2, 1/4, and 1/6 would relate to a US barrel sizes of 31 gallon. That would equate to about 59 lt, 29 lt and 19 lt - the smallest one being the corny keg.

Cheers, Andrew.

Ross,
I will be interested in a few when you get them in and one of those super size hop sock's you are now selling.

[johnno]

Have you tested it yet Batz?
Isn't there something similar for the 9 kilo gas bottles.
Works on the same principle. Pour the hot water on it. Those were not very good from memory.

cheers
