Partial Birthday Present - Cornie kegs

[WishboneBrewery]

Its a little early, but my other half is paying for 1 Cornie while I paid for the rest of the setup... All bought from Norm.
This one is mine so I can open this one and play with it

Got the Pub-gas for £18, reads 600psi in the cylinder is that the usual???

Very nice! I have asked swmbo if I can have the same setup for my birthday next month and she has agreed so thanks for putting the photos up, by the way if I am not being too nosey what did you pay for it all?

Cheers,

Jules

Looks great - have fun with it!

On the pressure, 600 psi is just fine. CO2 bottles normally read around 50 Bar (700 psi) at 20C, but a bit lower if the temperature is low. Mine reads about 42 bar at the moment, which is about 600 psi as well....

The bottle pressure will change a bit with temp, but it won't really go much lower than that until it's almost completely empty. Then it will drop really quickly.

Both kegs arrived with some pressure in them, I'm going to go and have a bit of a clean out now as they seem to have a bit of cleaner or something left in them.

[crookedeyeboy]

Make sure you fully take them to pieces. Got mine from Norm and one of the posts was full of old hops!

[chris_reboot]

cheers pdtnc.

[WishboneBrewery]

yeah, I've noticed the Out and In posts are in the wrong places...
Just done a leak test and one of the pressure releifs on the lid is passing, hoping to get it replaced.
Poppet's in the middle of the posts took a quick squirt to get them to seal, so maybe they need cleaning out as you say, what size spanner fits the weird nut side?

You'll not look back man. Got my 1st 2 cornies from norm in August, barley bottled anything since You'll be getting more before you know it! out of interest did you get the CO2 from the gas products place down Leeds Road, Bradford?

[WishboneBrewery]

The gas came from keighley, towler and stains is the shop. How much do you pay for your gas?
