WTD : 19l kegs (vic)

[manticle]

How did I miss this?

Anything between 1 and 4 for me if available or if someone feels they have too many.

I'd settle for one.

 

[Hoppers]

Has anyone got any links to a courrier thats cheaper than the 120$ quoted by fastway?

We use these guys at work, they are cheaper to most areas, only if they don't have a depot in the areathat the price shoots up.

Ok,

Good news and bad news.



Good news : I am Back with the kegs.

BAD NEWS : As you can see from the pictures, my ute tray is empty and the trailer isn't as full as it could be. They are not packed in that tight. It should hold 2 layers of 40. Made it easier for transport as I didn't need to use ute tray

I expected 100-120 kegs, what we got is 70 - 75 (I say 70-75 as a few don't look that great and one is a stubby with an s-type or similar coupler). They may have miscounted the original thinking it was 120 when it was 100 and they have sold some last week. He reckons he sold around 20 and has kept 5 he will sell @ $50 each to a couple of people he knows (these were not on site at time of collection). We checked the whole place (which was huge) and there were no more

I have to work for a few hours, so can't look at them too closely. Will post and update later. I suppose we have to go first on the list first served.

I can't drop down from my original 10, I am not being greedy, all 10 are not for me, 4 are for me and 6 for 3 mates.

Price is $30 each. Happy to take cash on collection, bank deposit or paypal (if you send the extra to cover the fees). I will try and setup a spreadsheet etc later this afternoon

Awesome work mate!

As for the numbers, I am pretty stuck on mine as I just upgraded my tap count to 6... may be able to drop 1-2 - will check tonight.

Bugger! Ah well, thanks to @andytork for trying

Happy to jump in if any deals fall through though

 

[Grainer]

Phew.. happy that I got in..where is pickup?

 

[fortmonty]

Great work Andy

 

[andytork]

These 60 are good to go, I grabbed my 10 already, there are a couple of definite no-no's. I may be able to salvage a couple from parts (using some bits I have here). Won't get round to looking at this until at least weekend

All of these appear to have good lids, seals look ok, no massive dings etc, rubbers all good. As with all used kegs, a good clean. Usually you expect to buy a new lid seal, I think you probably wont need to with these from the ones I opened.

1 small one with a d/s coupler whatever it is - will take $25 or best offer for this if anyone wants it, could cut it up and use it as a rims or whatever.

note to self #1 : when transporting used kegs in future, ensure lids and valves are closed,
note to self #2 : when stacking used kegs don't turn upside down and get covered in funky juice

The list for 60 I have is :-


Truman 5
Pat_00 10
djar007 5
syl 5
Camo6 3
MAXPOWER 5
tateg 4
Danwood 4
Fortmonty 3
Bridges 4
Grainer 5
Albainian 3
Evo 4 (wanted 5)


PM to Let me know how / when you want to collect / pay and I will return a PM with payment details I am available most evenings from 7pm onwards (sometimes late afternoon)

Thanks

Andy


p.s. my car is now full for the Grain Bulk Buy, At this stage can't bring any more with me

 

[pedleyr]

That's the way the cookie crumbles mate, **** happens.

Even if you were keeping all 10 of yours for yourself, it isn't greedy - you're the one who fronted the cash!

Thanks for your efforts. If 4 people drop out, don't forget that I'm next in line :beerbang:

 

[Mall]

Thanks for your effort.

 

[Danwood]

Pmd Andytork...cheers

 

[andytork]

I think I have responded to all PM's now. If anyone has not had a response. Please give me a kick

Here are the 60 in my junk room ! I will never get this place straight!



News on the posts :-

I just fitted new posts to one of the kegs, picked these up this afternoon from keg king so I could check. They appear fine. Of course I have not filled / gassed a keg yet

Cost was $5.95 each + $1.95 each for the poppets from memory

 

[bradsbrew]

Outstanding effort Andy. Your local brewers are a lucky bunch.

Edit. Are the current fittings snap locks?

 

[andytork]

They are snaplock female (the tap part), but a 3/8" (?) female to attach to the keg. where as by the font would need a 5/8" (like a garden tap size).

So if you left the liquid one you could plug a snaplock tap straight in.

They won't go in a normal font , they would need an adaptor or splitting and changing the back half. Either way would work out the same price or more as a new snaplock or more than the price of new ball QD's.

Sad as it sounds they are probably useless scrap. Unless someone has a source of 3/8"M x 5/8"M stainless fittings (of course you can Rube Goldberg it together)

 

[Danwood]

Just grabbed mine...cheers Andy !

 

[toncils]

Are they all gone/reserved? Any chance of jumping in on a spare one or two?

Think you're well down a long list of emergencies :beer:

 

[Camo6]

Picked up my three tonight. Thanks for your efforts Andy. Sorry I was in a rush, I'd picked the girls up from child care and they were having Peppa Pig withdrawals by the time I got to yours. I also had a couple of bottles set aside but forgot them on my way to work this morning. I think God (or Tom Cruise) punished me for my laziness as halfway home the smell of raspberry vinegar filled the car from one of the kegs that tipped over. At least it wasn't stale beer.

Once again thanks for doing all the ground work and fronting the cash.

Cheers,
Cam.

 

[andytork]

That's not a problem, was a long day today for me had an early work start and just got home now from learner driver supervision. You are now the 2nd person punished by the keg funk, it got me big time unloading yesterday

Damn.. That was me in the other vehicle there.. would have loved to have a chat about my build..pretty much narly finished the stand now... just need the swing arm for the control panel..Ill pm you the link

 

[Camo6]

Bugger, sorry Grainer, was that you in the Hilux?. Your brewstand's looking schmick. It'll be a damn fine build when your done. Come to think of it, if I'd had the time to chat I probably would have just sulked! Looking forward to the finished result (kind of!).

 

[andytork]

It it wasn't so hectic I could have shown you the 90L fully auto electric brew rig in the brewery. My first brew on this rig went into the kegs Monday, 60 litres of velvet stout on nitrogen


(poor picture)

And in future if you ever want to TIG anything stainless or mild (with argon) give me a shout all the gear is in the garage . If you are not confident have a friend who is an ex boilermaker who is willing to come down (by appointment) use my gear /gas and weld whatever you want for a few stubbies

 

[Camo6]

I hate you all! Nice rig. I should have come round when the missus wasn't working. Just bought a TIG myself and in the process of sourcing gas, regs and a better mask. Would have them all by now but people keep posting bargains on this damn site!
Appreciate the offer and might take you up on some advice in the future. Nice Bents too. Mulsanne?
