I'm using a single tap kegerator with with two kegs fed by a split gas line (no check valves). My usual procedure is to have one keg ready and on tap while the next batch carbonates. Quite often the fresh batch will be sharing a gas line with a keg that is almost empty. I'm wondering, does...

Apologies if this has already been mentioned. (huge thread) Carbonation/line cleaning caps are well worth checking out. They are basically just carbonator caps but with a barb on the inside for adding a dip tube. To use it you just fill the bottle halfway with cleaning solution, pressurise...

This looks awesome. So much more compact than a jockey box setup. One possible alternative to the small CO2 tank would be to use one of the cheap, returnable cylinders used in Sodastream machines. They could probably even fit horizontally along the top, or clipped onto the outside, allowing for...

+1 on Libertybrewing. Great selection of NZ hops. Cheaper than Hauraki and much better service. They are also the cheapest company to buy kegs from. They don't list them on their website but still had them when I emailed them earlier in the year.

Good call on the Rakau hops. I've used them heaps and they are just awesome!

Tui is just urine thats been carbonated with farts. Pretty simple recipe.
