WTB Pluto Gun

[H0U5ECAT]

I have an event coming up in April where I'm unable to take my usual keezer setup.
Does anyone have an extra/unused Pluto Gun about?

Cheers.

I've got a couple. I'm in Melbourne.

Hey Stu.
Thanks, but I got it sorted in the end.

WRT the Pluto gun, I've kegged and carbonated my first home brew in a 19litre corny. It's a Muntons Yorkshire Bitter. I've calculated the beer line length (just over a metre) taking into account the tube diameter (4mm) Co2 volume I'm after(around 1.5-2) and the Psi required (around 7psi). The beer coming out of the Pluto gun at the moment is a slowish pour is that what I should expect?

If the pour is slow, you can go ahead and shorten the line - you've wound up with a bit more restriction than calculated, or the calculator was assuming a very conservative pour speed.

Just keep in mind that it will behave differently if you pour a more carbonated beer at say 12 PSI

Second that i serve at 12psi pour is good speed on 5 meter 5mmID hose

any particular reason you use 5mm hose as wouldn't 4mm decrease the length of line required, 5 meters just seems like a lot of hose to coil up in the fridge?

Yeah i think it is 4.5m not 5 but just coiled her up. I used keg chart on brewersfriend to work out length needed. Better to have too much me thinks. Great pours every time two finger head.

What type of beer is it with that head?

What the one in the profile pick? That bees a pilsner...

 

[Tricky Dicky]

No the one you said had a 2finger head?

 

[Ben Davies]

Well profile is one of many...
