Title: Homebrew Corner
Post by: dcalnan on August 28, 2015, 08:48:57 PM
I was never happy with my keezer setup, so me and my brother have been building this the past few weekends. It's a small bit from completion but first pints were poured from it today, so I thought it was time to share it.

Well I'm just finished college, so I'm still at home, saving and looking for a job, so all I had to do was annoy my parents with all my brewing equipment enough till they allowed me make this. Were all very diy in the family, so it was a natural instinct to make it ourselves.

Sweet. very well done.

How did you manage to have KPA on tap? Is that your own clone version or are you getting key kegs straight from Sam?

Either way I'm feckin jealous. If I wore a cap, I'd be taking it off to you right now.

I got the keg from Sam for my brothers birthday , I didn't have time to brew a beer specifically for it.

FFS, all I got from my brother was a few scratch cards!

Great looking set-up though. Well done. A stage and a pole and you're sorted?

Garry, a stage and a pole in a place mostly frequented by beer nerds is just a bad idea...........
