Kegging

[Mike Neilson]

Looking at doing a keg set up, Is it cheaper and easyer to go with the brew craft setup or designing your own set up, and getting the bits from the likes of Craft brewer, etc?
Whats your thoughts?

[Mike Neilson]

Oh and heres another thing go down to Norgen and grab one of the their J.G fittings. Unscrew the barb screw in there push in fitting and bobs you uncle!!

Even after getting mine on the first time without and issue, the second time I fubared the hose... I keep a spare metre of hose in the garage now!

[Mike Neilson]

Honestly the best this you can do is go buy from Norgen!! a 5/16 or 1/4 inch? (I think it is?) Male to Push fitting. Best investment you can do for $8 I dont know why I dont have one????

[Stu McKinlay]

I was never in those shoes because I never fucked around with that stupid tubing you guys are all using... imported some from morebeer and it slipped on without boiling water, KY or foreplay.

As Nick Cave would say "Easy money, rain it down on the wife and the kids..."

[James P]

I suppose you could always buy the right sized hose from aircontrols, ultraflow (or norgen if they have it Mike!).

[Mike Neilson]

Nah nah James I got the right beer line its that barb fitting which is the problem!! I cant believe i didnt think of getting that substitute fitting before? it would make life so much easyier!!

Stupid tubing?

Sorry that we're not as good as you Stu.

I have to admit the tubing I bought on craftbrewer is the worst shit I've seen. I bought the cheap shit, and it's a pain in the ass to keep tidy in the fridge. Is the Morebeer stuff more flexible?

[Mike Neilson]

Buy the Valpar stuff from craftbrewer with all the fittings and bam its done. I turned my 2 gas in fridge into a 4 gas in fridge to night in 2 minutes? maybee one,No wrestling with line no loops no kinks no nothing just easy. Cheap is not better!!!

[denimglen]

So you just unscrewed the barb and screwed in another fitting?

Got pics of the finished product?

I was thinking of having a shot at ripping out a barb but with the price of disconnects was kinda weary.

[Mike Neilson]

Im off to do it tomorrow!!! Will send pics I honestly I cant believe I hadnt done it sooner!!

[denimglen]

Choice, let us know how it goes.

Just grabbed my spare disconnect, that barb doesn't wanna budge with some pliers, maybe I should chuck it in the vice haha.
