Didnt realise you lot were such evil effers! For anyone interested Dennis has done a load of write up on polypins on this and the other place...didn't notice any comments about new Jackson pollacks in the making though!!

I'm still very much undecided on the whole bag-in-a-box thing, I love the theory but am yet to see the reality. I've been through a bunch of different trials and am now conditioning the beer in something more robust to stand the pressure then racking off to the bag-in-a-box. Still not overly impressed. It's Ok pulled through an Angram hand pump but only OK, I'm not blown away. I rack x amount for bags and x amount for bottles and much prefer the bottles.

I don't think I'm going to bother with cornies as they seem a bit pricey compared to spending a few more quid and going for proper 11, 18 or 30 litre kegs and not having the stuck arm, non sealing problems I read a lot about.

Bag in a box .... Still waiting to be sold on it.

EDIT These bag in a keg may possibly be awesome though, http://www.ecofass.com/ just waiting to get a quote from them.

Many thanks for your enquiry, breweries use the larger 36pt bags & boxes to condition ale, but this relies on the inherent box strength, the 3L is not as strong (for obvious reasons) so I don't think it will work, by all means give it a go but it's not without risk

This is a direct reply from the guys at beer in a bag, with my details excluded

So I reckon,as an alternatine to mini kegs or bottles for BBQ season the smaller ones are fine.
But for conditioning purposesnot much kop
