Chit Chat / Re: Corny Key Openings
Last post by johnrm - April 05, 2024, 07:30:03 AMThere can be some variance in lid and ope sizes and some effort required to close.
There are a number of manufacturers, some are better than others.
If you find that a seal is not quite sealing, put it in place as best you can, invert your keg and bounce the keg handles off the ground.
The weight of the beer should seal the lid.

Great.
Have a question - it seems to be only a few beer styles to be able to select from on the drop down menu on the entry form. Am I doing something wrong?

For Sale / Free: 48*330ml bottles
Last post by stubrew - March 29, 2024, 05:39:13 PMHi all
Have 48 X 330ml bottles available - I got them from someone here a few years back for a project, and they're no longer needed.
Were washed & sanitised after use, but have been stored for a couple of years now in an outdoor storage unit so would definitely need another cycle of each before use.
Visually inspected them and no mould.
95% of them are the style in the closeup picture attached, and approx 50% have a sticker label on them that should come off very easily in a wash.
All ready to go in cardboard box as pictured/attached, for pickup in Ashtown D15, or could potentially drop them if not too far in surrounding D7/9/11 area.
Let me know if wanted! Cheers.
