Vic Xmas Swap

[Kleiny]

I used gava's CPF thingy (do you need it back yet mate) and it was just a time wasteing pain in the A hole, next time just back to regular bulk priming and fill, much easier.

The time wasteing part may have just been because i have no real idea how to use the thing.

nup. striaght from keg to bottle via taps on normal setting. well not quite true as i have celli's and can adjust the flow rate via the tap.
of course bottles will be wet and cold from sanitiser.

I might give it a go 4*. The CPF is great for doing occasional bottles (comps, parties, etc.) as you don't have to vent the entire headspace of the keg just to fill a bottle or three (wasted CO2), but is a slow process to do a whole keg.

Just make sure you get the overcarb right. (I use the rekoner for this) I do this for parties without overcarbing with no ill effects of carbonation when drinking throughout the night. I usually store in 2L PET bottles if im sharing or Grolsch swingtops for my own consumption. Who needs a party keg when you have 2L pets? :beerbang:

Even easier if you can get the flow slow enough. Then you just overcarb the keg slightly for losses, vent and readjust the reg at your normal serving pressure. Let the celli do the work for ya!

Oh the joys of dealing with a picnic tap!

ok i know im gonna get toasted on this one but as a result of recent working commitments i have been unable to get myself in a position where i can properly brew a beer to a standard thats suitable to swap so it is with much regret that i am with drwaing myself from this years swap , sorry for the latish notice but i was hoping things would allow me to brew , but its just got to the stage where im not going to be able to do it in sufficient time for the swap day ....

Admit it Barra, it's your sanitation issues again, isn't it! Just ask Fourstar :lol:

Hope you're still going to come along on the day. There's going to be a sh!tload of beer there, with all these people dropping out at the last minute...

 

[brettprevans]

I'm afraid I have to regretfully inform all of you with my humblest apologies and realising it may throw a bit of a spanner in the works and change things around in a way that might possibly be quite irritating, that I will still be participating in this case swap and attending on the day as well.

I'm very, very, very sorry.

 

[Leigh]

LOL. Very good Manticle!

Barra...not good mate. Hope your still attending!

 

[WarmBeer]

... i have been unable to get myself in a position where i can properly brew a beer to a standard thats suitable to swap...

- 1 x Homebrew lager
- 2 kg Sugaz
- Ferment at ambient Melbourne temperatures, 30+ degrees all week
What do you mean you don't have time to brew a beer before the swap?

Now, I'm off to the supermarket to get supplies
