hey lads I'd love to pop in aswell. does anybody know how to bottle from a plastic keg?

I bottle from a plastic keg all the time. Basically i cut off a length of siphon tube and wedge it into the spout of the keg with a 5 mm length of siphon tube. Just make sure you wedge it in nice and tight and don't block where the beer pours out of the keg into the spout. Also you'll want the length of siphon tube to reach the bottom of the bottle so that you don't let any pesky air into your beer.

The beer managed to land safely. I only brought 15 bottles had no weighing scales to make sure I stayed under the 20kg. It was a pretty good guess weight was 17.5 kg.

Tomorrow at 6 in the bierhaus it is then. I will be there tonight too withuot the beer.

As for the other bottles that did not make it there were two very good beers there rest were ok to good.


1. Riven
2. Ger Cork
3. Beeristhereason (with a bit of luck)
4. Dave of the bierhaus will surely be there
5. Wallacebiy ( as long as the mrs actually comes back from the damn hen weekend grr )
6. Denis.
7. Blackjack.
8. Hookers.
9. Homebrew
10 Niels
11. Me Brother
