The New Home Bar

Good work Batz.
I take it you are not going to leave that behind when you come to Qld...

:chug:

 

[Gout]

well mine is a heat/AC to keep the perfect beer drinking tempcontrol

if a porter in on tap , lower the temp

and summer wheat comes up - up the temp

LOL :beerbang: :beer:

P.S the AC/heat was beacuse this is 90% my living area so it was not really decided on due to the bar..... but makes a much better story

Melbourne 40deg one day, 12 deg the rest

Already causing problems is it not? :angry:

Bat has the bar , not Batz , Batz moving to Qld and building a bar there

Change of name perhaps Bat? what about Cat ?

Batz h34r:

 

[PeterS]

Sorry for causing problems Bat and Batz. I am just getting to know the local clan and with names like those it is easy to get confused.

Flying Fox perhaps?

Hi Guys,

Finally got all my taps for the font i bought from Doc for the bar . Thought i would post a few pics of the bar to show how its turned out.

I ended up going with the Alumasc taps, they pour really good. I found they dont tend to spray the initial bit of beer/gas out of the line which is warm like my Andale tap does.
I have the flooded font connected to pump in the fridge so give that a minute of operation and the font is nicely ice cold ready for work.

Next up im going to make some labels for the taps, paint with blackboard paint so i can write whats on each tap with chalk.

Happy days....
:beerbang:

[warrenlw63]

Very nice Al! :super: :super:

Thought of everything. Even got the Silvia and Rocky combo there as well.

Coffee for the ladies and hangovers eh?

The coffee obsession goes well with brewing, gets the heart started after a big night. And yes, keeps the women folk happy, and happier that a whole room of the house is taken up by a bar! an espresso bar .

 

[Goat]

I noticed that too Warrenlw63 - is that a Rancillio Silvia in the corner there Al?

(Bloody nice set by the way)

 

[BigAl]

Goat & Warren, your right, thats the Silvia Espresso Machine and Rocky Grinder. Not a bad home setup IMO, i get some excellent results with it and use it every day without fail.

Only downside really is its a single boiler machine so you cant steam and brew at the same time which makes it hard if you need to pump out lots of coffees in a row...but thats a whole other forum

 

[warrenlw63]

Al,

You're right. Hard to make more than 2 coffees in a row on my Silvia. Doesn't bother me I only drink espresso. Heat Exchange (espresso) machines cost too much $$$$$ that could be better utilised via brewing equipment. :super:

Try these sites. That's if I'm not preaching to the converted already.
