Read it on here a few times. The only reason I've gone small is because I should be able to fit it inside my bar fridge along with the smaller kegs. Means no drilling into the fridge. I'll probably have to get a second one eventually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not far from my place and open 7 days. I've seen CO2 tanks in their shop. They should be able to see me right. Hines Hardware for all your hardware needs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Muzzy I lived in Magill back in the 70's & I knew the family at the time, Des Hines was the boss but I am sure he wouldn't be with us now. They always had a great range of everything, I remember selling them Dart supplies as well as using there store. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stayed on as a part time employee for quite a few years. Hell of a nice fella. I haven't heard of him in a long time so maybe he has passed on. They have everything in that store. If you need any Danso dance floor polish they are place to go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably have to get a second one eventually. I started off with two 2.6kg bottles. One for the kegs, the other as a spare. We do not want to run out of gas The first one lasted about 6 kegs including fast carbing them. So I got a 6.5kg bottle and it lasts a lot longer. I use one of the small ones as a spare and the other for several other things like pushing out sodium percarb through the dip tube or push sanitiser into the next keg and things like that. And I do fast carbing with it too, when there is no room in the Kegerator. Carb a keg up over night before the next FV goes into the fridge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can source one locally I guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malter White Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 @disgruntled @Aussiekraut @Stickers I assume these kegs being only 8 litres would take less gas to carbonate. Yes/no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes/no? i would say less time as less space and less liquid to absorb the c02 you would still look at 3-4 days as set anf forget depending on how much carbonation you want i would carb your kegs with 2°c @12 psi for 3 days min pour one to see the carb level i wouldnt do the fast carb with these 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also by buying 12 it took the unit price down from $8 to $7 each. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once spent more than this purchase on a trip to Melbourne to watch Essendon play Geelong and my Bombers didn't kick a goal in the first half. If these kegs fail they'll still be money better spent than that fateful trip. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have smaller kegs, so gas will likely last about double as long. Don't worry too much. See how you go and take it from there. Not everything is as black and white as it seems. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
