I must have one of these. That is outstanding except for the $6k to buy it.

I've been coming back to that webpage all day.

I want it so bad.

I should go into the money thread and find me a sugar daddy.

I wish I could publically advertise my own specials lol....something like this williamswarn thing would be a wicked incentive!

Well I took the plunge and picked up a kegerator off kijiji. Fits full size kegs only single tap. Right now I am just testing the fridge to make sure it stays cold and will probably pick up a keg some time next week and give it a go

I would join your mailing list for a williamswarn.

Think about it.

Does anyone know the cheapest place to fill up a 5lb c02 tank? It seems to be all over the place with a quick google search in terms of pricing and if a supplier will fill your tank if you didn't buy from them

I did rig something up (a lot of the forums recommended it) but I haven't used it recently. My fridge seems to get cold enough. I find cleaning the lines is better at controlling foam than a cooling contraption. It was also easy to do and lots of "how-to's" can be found.

I am going to try the copper pipe method to cool the tower. I am having a heck of a time finding a place to fill co2 that isn't 50 bucks for a small tank

The truth is I think i need to have 2 of these units.. one spends a week brewing, the other gives me a week to consume the product.

um... what do I do if I consume beer faster than I make it?

Go to rehab.

Well I finally got my first keg yesterday. Hell of a time finding one around Christmas ended up getting wild rose wrasberry. Keg cost 225 plus deposit and cost to fill my co2 tank was 25 so total cost is 250. Should get 160 beers out of it so each Beer is 1.56.

The kegerator I have is the haier brand. It fits full size kegs

First impressions are I can't believe it took me 2 months to get a keg. This thing is great. I thought it was going to be like my mini kegerator for Heineken beers where i would be battling lots of head. I have it pressurized really low so the pour is near perfect. I will upload pictures once I get to a computer.

If anyone is on the fence about getting one just do it. The only downside so far is the actual high cost of kegs. I will keep you guys posted how long this one lasts. Had a party with about 10 people drinking beer so I assume we put a pretty decent dent into it thus far.

Nothing like enjoying a nice draft while watching football

Sorry to bump an old thread. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if Guinness kegs are available in Calgary and where you can get them. Also what sizes they come in.

[fundmark19]

If They are available you need a special set up to pour stouts. A regular tap or hand pump won't pour it correctly. Your best bet is to call willowpark they have the best access

[ShotDownInFlames12]

Ya I have the conversion kit for Guinness, I thought Id check before I went through the process of building this thing. I'll try willowpark, thanks.
