Jim's Beer Kit

you know your stuff. Im still learning, only problem is I don't go to my local as much since I've been brewing!

Whats the pushed in security tabs Clive?

I've only PTFE'd the fittings so I can always change things. I like your simplified coupler. 'More than one way to skin a cat' as they say.

Just noticed on your picture you havnt used a Tee piece of the gas supply of things, ie you can let gas out but how are you getting gas in? through the beer outlet? If thats the case I hope you have a one way valve on the beer outlet otherwise there isnt anything to stop the beer travelling along t...
