Brilliant mate I’d love that setup you’ve inspired me to build a cave, I wouldn’t know were to start with all the pump stuff I’ll definitely be getting someone in to set up yours is amazing 👍👍👍
Great video, very helpful as I’ve bought the same sort of set up and feel the same about about the perfect drafts and others, a few mates and they would get smashe through 👍🏻🍺🍺🍺
Hi mate, love the set up, just wondering how much did it cost for the labour for all the fitting outside shed to the bar, I have a cooler and pump and lines jst need some 1 to set up for me. Can u help cheers.👍
Thanks Andrew appreciated depends where you are in country it cost me about 200+ but he did supply couplers pipes and lots of other stuff if your on Facebook search for Mike Cornish tell him I gave you his name.His after support is spot on managing the pipes cleaning all that is pretty easy.
Great video thanks for posting!, I have a blade and a perfect draught but even though their ranges are forever growing you can literally have anything you like if you put a draught set up in your pub shed so that's my next plan! get some peroni down me! who is your keg supplier? I have had a look online and cant find anything under £2 a pint in the current climate.
Thanks Danny appreciated, Peroni dearest really I use local supplier near me cash sale.Small drinks distributors all over the place they want to shift em before sell by date I get Angelo Porretti Italian Lager 30 litre for 85 quid about £1.60 a pint.
@@mginbolton poretti is a great shout! lovely pint! going to get a double line in for guinness potentially switching to cider in the summer months, can get a 50l keg of somersby for peanuts and thatchers isnt too bad price wise either :)
Hi what power supply do you use for the beer pump lights? Specifically the Estrella one? I have the same pump and it lights up with 12v but think it may need more voltage? Thanks
24v mate you need one of these www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-24-V-BEER-TAP-FONT-BAR-LIGHTING-UNIT-6-OFF-/394670522257?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p4429486.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
Hi mate. Do you have a link to where you buy your kegs from? And do you find that your 50L kegs go off after a while from not being cooled in a cellar? Cheers
I buy from a local small place that supply's pubs in the area.Kegs are out of sunlight and not around long enough for them to go off,,you can buy cooler jackets for them from ebay or amazon.
@@mginbolton we’re thinking of putting one under a bar in a garage, will that get too hot and ruin the beer do you think? And do you have the name I’ll give them a look 👍
Mark thanks for the chat yesterday. When you next come to clean the lines could you please do an explanatory video mate, pictures/videos paint a thousand words
Hi Mark would this be possible to install in a little B&B. I've just leased a small B&B in Blackpool but it doesn't have a bar, I mean no bar in Blackpool come on I can't see that working 😂 😂 😂 I thought yours was fab
Yeah absolutely if you search for mike cornish on Facebook mention my name and he can give you a price for the setup,,the maintenence cleaning etc is really easy and you can get all your stuff cheap from one stop pub shop in Preston nearby Wrea Green PR4 2PH
Hi, great informative video mate! I have a crucial question I want to ask. QUESTION: Im filling a 30L Keg with my flat lager - should I put some co2 in it to make it fizzy before I give it to someone to put on a system like yours. Should I leave it flat, or give it some psi for some days? If so what psi would you like to recieve a keg?
Check this link out I have 60/40 mixed gas and have the pressure at 35psi www.northernbrewer.com/blogs/kegging-bottling-techniques/how-to-carbonate-beer
Great video, what size is the man cave? I have a small garden and have been looking into my own bar, I would struggle to fit a 4m x 3m without taking half of my garden. Another option would be to change my garage into the bar.
Thanks Phil appreciated it's 4.1m x 3.38m the space I had to look at before you wouldn't believe I built the shed on it when you measure 4x3 it's not much really.Next vid I'll do will be a timeline collection of the built.
Yeah I think I will have to lay something out in the garden to see what space is take up. Does this look a a good deal, or would it be better buying separate? kegman.co.uk/products/home-bar-solutions-twin-tap
@@philmorgan236 Yes that looks like a convenient little package but gas suppliers will only refil their own bottles some health and safety bullsh*t .Go on facebook message Mike Cornish and tell him I recommended him ask him for recommendations on couplers and cooler suppliers. You will get cheaper separately but depends if your in a rush or not.Also find beer gas suppliers near you so easier to refill locally. Like I said on the video a full gas fill with last for about 8 kegs.Where abouts in the country do you live?.
Brilliant bar mate! Just had my own done, very similar setup to yours, recently (about 3days ago) every pint of strongbow i pour is coming out really froffy. Is this to do with the cold weather? Cooler is working fine, plenty left in the barrel but like yours mine is located outside with the gas. Is this an issue with the cold do you think?
@Ben Williams no probs pal just unplug the cooler let it get to room temp then your cider should be ok when temp starts getting higher weather-wise switch it back on.Have a good one and enjoy.
Hey Mark, much appreciated for the walk through. I really would love a proper draft system but I'm afraid of not having enough room for it all. It's going in a garage conversion and I'm quite tight on space as it is so not sure I'd be able to get a keg and a tall gas canister in there under the bar and not sure how much of a pain it'd be to run it through the wall/insulation/plaster to be set up outside. Did you man do all that setup for you, put the pipes through the walls etc.. and did you buy all the couplers and pipes too or did the installer provide them. Could do with finding someone in the Warwickshire area who does them to have a chat with.
No not at all just need to top up the cooler with water check every 6 months.When cleaning lines just use a clean bucket of water to put the pipe in.Really easy and low maintenance 😀
Hi, enjoyed your video. I'm currently studying so have taken a part time job working as a bar man for a local agencey. On the job training, so basically I have no idea how these beer systems work. All I know is that I was working the tap a few times, (heinekin) and it was either far too much foam, or hardly any. There is a little adjuster valve on the tap itself that makes it pour fast or slow. for example, I had it opened up full and there was hardly any gas. If i had of closed the valve a little, would that have possibly meant that the beer/gas ratio would have been better? Or was it more a problem at the keg/gas bottle? Thanks in advance.
great vid,im just getting into draught in my shed so im learning,i got told to use straight co2 for stella and cider but now im being told to use 60/40,i noticed yours is a mix,what are you running and why,appreciate all the help i can get thanks
Thanks fester, someone fitted it for me yes I use 60/40 for all my lagers (Estrella/Birra/San Miquel/Stella) Psi not sure i will find out but to be honest i never adjust anything just clean the lines after every key and thats it.Im getting new gas bottle tomorrow i will ask the supplier whats the psi as i dont see any adjustment on the guage,its just and empty full indicator etc.
Hi mate, I want to have a similar set up but just worried about this heat we are experiencing would the keg not get far to warm and ruin the product even though its going through a cooler?
Hi Shane I had the set up all last year when we had hot weather I suppose as long as the keg is not in direct sunlight,never had any complaints rather the opposite I suppose a keg cooler jacket wouldn't do any harm either,the cooler.does a great job.
@@mginbolton yea I seen you get insulated jackets for the kegs. My garden gets the sun all day so may need to build a little hut or something along them lines. Appreciate the reply boss!
Hi Paul use this link as a guide I only unplug the cooler in really cold weather as the beer gets cold enough beer-coolers.co.uk/products/maxi-210-2p-cooler-co-maxi212 Also check out the glycol coolers maxi 310 on the same website they are the ones that put ice on the pumps such as the Heineken on you may have seen.
after watching this video im all set up, but im having trouble purchasing the kegs, most companys are wanting an extra £80 delivery on top of keg, im thinking is this after all ive done working out any cheaper than just buys a few slabs of lager
@@johnjones9242 what about Rhondda beer company tell them you need a keg for a party (special occasion) offer.to leave a deposit for the keg once you start buying regular they start to trust you more.I did the same with my local supplier.
@@andyhamill9752 yeah did mine 2015 I always wanted it as better than bottles or cans.U got all the bits just need to setup? Your pressure regulator you got that?
Ok those sockets are to rest the couplers on when not in use on a keg. They can be removed just screwed to the wall and the pipes going in are push fit connectors.
Also do you need the cold water flow to your taps as my keg is up my bar thanks bud , my pints were pulling fine when i first got my keg but after a few pints it seams to have gone flat.
Hi ya buddy I'm setting up a home bar where could I get cheap co2 bottles I'm looking on ebay and there going for £65+ do you know where I can get them cheaper 👍
