Corni Keg

[Drunken_Jock]

After showing the wife all my new gear. And letting her try the cider and lager i have done she asked where i was going to store all of this as having 40x1l bottles kicking about is a bit much. I said I have a plan for that. DA DA DAAAAA showed her the Corni Keg......

After her looking at it for a few minutes and watching a few vids i waited for her to give her usual screw up face and what do you want that for. She turned to me and said...............................




Thas good eh!

Well I fainted after having to stop thinking of the excuses as to why I had to get or need one she said i could get it next month if i wanted...........

TBH Im still in a state of shock.

But my question is where do you get yours and do you get one with the S30 connection on it and is there a place I can buy all my parts that I need. The cheapest I have found is £70 with nothing else.

Cheers in anticipation.

Jock

http://www.hamstead-brewing-centre.co.uk/itm00561.htm is what I went with for my first cornie. Had to get a HB30 CO2 cylinder to go with it.

Now I'm planning to get more cornies I wonder if I should have gone with a larger CO2 system and post connect with regulator, atm I seem to be serving foam I suspect that's because the cornie pressure is too high.

As Snail said "Fully reconditioned just some dents and scratches"

But there was nowt wrong with the pair I had.....When my setup is finished I'm looking for another pair!!! :pray:

I was reading a marine fish forum that 2nd hand Fire extingisher can take a regulator and you can get them refilled for a £10 at the fire maintance depot.

Anyone else heard or even better dont this


Jock

Still no reply from Norm

I'm sure Norm will get back to you by tomorrow night, think he may even do them a bit cheaper as he wont have the ebay costs.

Thinking of getting one of my kegs fitted with a S30 connection for taking on trips, as Argos will some be stocking Soda stream products again....Well so I saw on a TV advert last night

I've heard of using co2 fire extinguishers also, but why not just go with a 5 or 10 lb co2 tank? In my neck of the woods I can get them filled at any welding supply shop. I'm running a 15lb bottle and it's been a year since I last filled it.

As far as a good regulator goes this is in the US but their prices are so cheep it may be worth looking into. I've done business with them in the past and I have been happy.

For trips you can get a fitting so you can use your primary regulator with a small co2 paintball cylinder. I hate the little 7oz co2 squeeze injectors, someone inevitably messes with it and dumps the whole cylinder into the corrny. With a regulator and a paint ball tank you can set it and forget it.

Cheers Friday I'll have a look for them on Ebay come pay day :thumb:

 

[BarnsleyBrewer]

The Thrifty Shopper do them for £39.00 and if you spend over £25.00 it's free delivery!!

If you don't have a supplier of 6.35Kg CO2 nearby (And lets face it the supply of CO2 is very well tied up here in the UK), then a Fire Extinguisher makes a very good substitute . . . HOWEVER . . . Fire extinguishers have a dip tube that reaches to the bottom of the cylinder (For maximum knock down effect - hit the fire with liquid CO2) . . . So to dispense gaseous CO2 from a fire extinguisher you need to invert it.

If anyone wants a 6.35 Cylinder (or indeed a 3.15 cylinder) Make me an offer, I bought them years ago . . . and the place that would refill them has stopped doing so . . . but if you have a place that will pressure test and refill then you could be onto a winner :lol:

 

[Friday]

Getting co2 is a problem in the UK? Can't you get it from a welding supply shop?

I'm not being a smart ass, I'm just genuinely shocked that it a problem. Why is it tied up?

 

[Dieseljockey]

They don't want a free market......Rip off Britain Yipee

I get my beer gas from a Welding supply shop, but a lot of places here in the UK are funny about not supplying to private individuals . . . and you get some silly prices charged for bottle deposit (as much as £50) and rental (up to £10 or more a month) before you add on the cost of the refill (Up to £20 for 14lb - my last one was £11) in order to put private individuals off.

I was 'lucky' enough to buy a couple of cylinders (a 14lb and a 7lb) from a homebrew shop several years ago (I passed frequently enough so that If I ran out I could get it replaced easily), but after about a year they stopped doing the refills, they didn't know about or appreciate the cost of hydro testing the bottles. . . . Which was a shame as it was a very good price for gas.

It is also a Health and Safety thing as well

Sometimes I can't blame them for that, it can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. And going by some posts here and on Jim's, I do worry sometimes.

What about getting in good with your local welder? I've never met a welder that doesn't drink beer and that's one thing we have plenty of. A half case of good beer will get you a long ways.

 

[Drunken_Jock]

Norms sorted me out YEEEHAAAAA now need another Fridge but that can wait:)

 

[Dieseljockey]

A new fridge!!!!!!!!!!

what's the missis going to say about that :nono:
