JamTarts98 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm usually just a JKB lurker but signed up to say a big thank you for this thread. My Perfect Draft was delivered yesterday and early next month I'll be ordering my 3 x kegs with the 15% discount. So far I'm going with Lowenbrau, Leffe Blonde and Goose Island. Really looking forward to it. Thanks again and cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leffe blonde or Jaipur maybe. It’s been rumoured there are a few new ones on the way though Anyone any idea where I can buy cans or bottles of the tiny rebel stuff in Edinburgh? Someone mentioned Sainsbury’s but was in Cameron Toll yesterday and they didn’t have it I found the Cali Pale and Clwb Tropica in the one at Longstone. Drew a blank at Craigleith.

Shanks said no Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Yodel failed to deliver today, I am assuming because there were roadworks outside my house, I have been unable to drive into my driveway for a week. Minutes after the email notifying me, the roadworks were lifted. No one home tomorrow so they hopefully leave the PD and barrels with my neighbour. Need my beers to be at temperature on Saturday.

Sooperstar Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Generally don't see the point in 'dressing' the machine up. Even if you put a beer decal on it you're going to be drinking something else half the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Ended up having to go to Yodel at Livingston this morning for my machine and 2 kegs. Popped in to the Goth before heading home and got another 2 kegs. Currently have a Stella in the freezer, a Spaten and a Lowenbrau in the beer fridge with a Lisa last in the queue. I am trusting @Dean Winchester expertise and will take the Stella out of the freezer after 3 hours at 1450, giving it an hour to be perfect for our 4pm session starting.

daftie Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I bought a cheap 2nd hand fridge to use as a beer/ wine fridge. Only thing is I can only get 1 keg in standing up properly, or 2 on their side so they are chilling. Is it alright keeping them on their side ?

Do The Dance Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Pretty sure prices took a bit of a hike when lockdown kicked in around March. Not sure if we’ll see that kind of price this year, but I have no idea. I’m glad I have it now anyway. Goose IPA is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the big book of instructions last night, emphasising that the o-rings must be moist when attaching the dispenser arm to the keg. Maybe try removing the dispenser arm, wetting it and replacing, It can only leak from 2 places G. The arm to the keg & the tube to the arm. It is a beer leak and not condensation from the chiller?
