I guess that's the price you pay for being a pioneer Andy? :wink:

Mind you, looking at old posts Norm's prices have gone up quite a bit in the last year. Don't get me wrong, I still think I've got a bargin. He seems really switched on to the homebrewer market now.

Funny you should say that my reply to Norm...

Yeh, that sounds about right, I think Andy's joked in the past that he
should claim sales commission from you :)

Wow, just had an email come in - tracker reference as promised by Norm - 1-2 day delivery, so I might see them before the weekend! \:D/

I've got 6 cornys from Norm and one of his CO2 bottles. Couldn't get the bottle filled unfortunately so it's just lying about.

I've not had to replace anything on the kegs so far, just a good clean.

Another cornie virgin! No doubt many more to come.
Been king kegging with a few bottles for the boys at work!
Anyone ordered from the USA via ebay?
Check out the beers we have for sale @ Mix Brewery

I must admit that I dived into the CO2 cylinder thing without much research.
EB's absolutely right, you can't post filled compressed gas cylinders of any kind, so Norm sends
them out empty, albeit brand spanking new.
I've a couple of hardware stores local to me who seem to have fingers in pies, but if all goes
pear-shaped then I'll jump on the rental bandwagon.

But anyway, the corny is the main purchase and I'm pleased as punch!

However, I think I'll stick with just the one... I can't possibly see myself needing more. Why,
that would just be greedy....... Mwah ha ha. :D

You could always get it filled at one of the places Wez found - admittedly it would be a bit of a drive down to Brum area but might be worth it. My cylinder it still at a healthy pressure but I might end up having to drive down to get Norm's cylinder filled at some point when it runs out. Let me know if you find anywhere localish that will fill it though as I'm not that far from you :D

Nice buy NAS 8)

I too will be interested to see if you can get the bottles re-filled locally :wink:

I too have joined the "corny club" as my kegs where delivered this afternoon. \:D/

I haven't given them that close an inspection but the seals look good and they definately need a good soak/clean inside.

They all have a 4 digit number - 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970 - is this a serial number or the year of manufacture? Seems odd to get a sequence like that... :-k

Wow, I can't believe I missed that.
Mine says, "1970 nutz inhalt." (1970 use contents)
Is it a use-by-date?

I got mine delivered this afternoon too, from Beertech (great service). I used to think people saying how pleased they were with their keg taps was a bit of an odd thing to get excited about, but I got a quick disconnect tap with my keg and suddenly the scales have fallen from my eyes :lol: its a thing of beauty.

I see some on here have 7+ kegs :shock: 8)
