Quick Survey - How many Cornies have you got?
Re: Quick Survey - How many Cornies have you got?
2 at the moment but 4 more 'budget' kegs from norm on the way
Ordered tonight of fleabay.
I hope that 6 + 2 plastic barrels + some bottles will be enough. I thought SWMBO was going to pitch a fit with the latest additions but she took it well
I think a couple maturing while 3 or 4 on the go will be fine and dandy.

Re: Quick Survey - How many Cornies have you got?
just 2 for me at the moment but more soon
Re: Quick Survey - How many Cornies have you got?
I now have 3 thanks to the wondrous ebay, not filled one yet though, I have spent the last month collecting what I think i might need. Gas is still an issue however I am trying to source a bottle of 70/30 Co2/N2, i have a large food grade Co2 cylinder in the garage that will do meantime.
So all going well I'll have two filled soon. I started two brews yesterday, a Scottish heavy and a Yorkshire bitter. Caravan season will be fun this year

Re: Quick Survey - How many Cornies have you got?
Ok...make that TWO !!...
Just bought a load of kit from Norm...he was selling 2 x Cornies for £65 on Ebay..( A few dents etc but all good in the end !)
As you can imagine, they went pretty quickly !..
Found a decent CO2 supplier in Sheffield...£36.74 Deposit & £14.40 for the Gas, ( 6.35KG Pub Tank ) which I thought was reasonable
and they are only 20 mins down the road which is ideal...
Just need to dig the old fridge out of the garage and see if it still works !...

£65.00 is a real bargain, I paid 35 each for my first 4, with disconnects.
My latest 2 were a bit more though, but they are his posh shiny ones without the dents

Got a Regulator with an Equal T to run both Cornies off & Chrome Tap coming from Norm too...£75 for the both...
The Kegs come with both disconnects and 2 Metres of Tubing each, so will have everything I need soon !..
Been drinking my Harvest Pilsner tonight...on my 3rd pint now :0)...
Not very carbonated out of my King Keg, bit like a Caffreys, but tastes sweet !
