My beer routine.
Keg it, gas it for two days, drink it.
I've even sussed out that you can charge it to 60 psi then roll it on the floor for two minutes and it's gassed.
Although since I started making UJ the kegs arn't quite getting hammered like they use to

I leave them to carb at pouring pressure.


Same. Seems the easiest way to me.


Yep then you can be pouring a keg and carbing a keg at the same time :dance:

I would love a beer but the dock warned me off it for a week or two

3 kegs on tap ! how far are you from my place LOL

I hated washing all the bottles so got myself 3 19 ltr legs and all the bits for the system , modded a fridge with a flat bottom so that i could put my 65 ltr fermenter in there for when i did lagers , and when not doing lagers put the kegs in the fridge but i think i had a problem with a gas leak not sure any way still have the gear not sure i will use it but i think the kegs will come in handy for storage.
