    Building a kegerator

    Has anyone in Australia built a small kegerator to house 2 x 19L kegs and CO2 bottle. I'm trying to find a suitable model as all the models posted on here are in the US and not available in Australia. Thanks.

    Getting into kegging-ideas?

    My LHBS wants AU$299 for 2 new 19L kegs regulator, tap and beer lines. With no gas tank. I really want to start kegging but a CO2 bottle is another 150 empty. I looked online and some items are cheaper if I ship them from the US to Australia. So crazy!!! 🍻

    First pour

    How long did you leave it fermenting before bottling? Some products say a week but that is just to make u buy their product more often. I done that with my first batch and it was cloudy. I now leave it in the fermenter for at least 2-3 weeks and it's clear when it comes to bottling day. I know...

    Yeast in my tap

    I just took a gravity reading as my wort has been fermenting for just over a week. I noticed that there is a yeast build up in the tap. It is ready to bottle but should I drain off a bit to get rid of the excess yeast??

    Home bar fridge

    Just wondering can anyone who has build a kegerator give me the min dimensions of the fridge you used? Or if u live on Australia if u can give me the model you used, as all I can find are the mini fridges with the ice compartment which take up too much room. Thanks

    Leaving beer in fermenter

    My question is how long can u leave your beer for in the fermenter for before you have to transfer to bottles or kegs? As I have only started home brewing I only have enough bottles to bottle one batch at a time. I am saving for a keg kit so don't really want to buy more bottles. I really want...
