Hi from Ireland Everyone! ⁸
I've been homebrewing quite seriously for the past year with a good friend of mine and we've got together quite a collection of kit.
Currently I'm in the process of transferring about 30 litres of our pilsner into 5L mini-kegs to give to friends for the big weekend ahead of us.
After a lot of tinkering I've managed to get our mini-keg filling set up to an almost automated point and I thought I'd share.
I have it rigged up so that my CO2 canister supplies 15psi to the gun, and through a spunding valve it supplies <2psi to the keg so that the serving pressure is as low as possible. Nothing beats the magic of duotight/John guest lego!
The gun is mounted on a repurposed homemade tap setup I made so that I don't have to compress the gun to fill, I just have to turn the valve and let it fly.
I have a question for anyone who has any experience with Mini-kegs. I got these replacement bungs that you can see on the second last picture that stand a big proud of the rim compared to the usual bungs that I get. If you've seen these type of bungs and have used the same kind of kegs as this (last pic) then I would love to know if this is normal.
Thanks all, I'm sure I'll be posting a lot more soon!
