Thread: Upgraded My Howebrew Fridge

I like it, I like it alot.

I'm sick of cleaning bottles. Once I've finished my new shed I will seriously think of upgrading. Is there much in ongoing costs once you have a system like that setup?

Only the gas, a D size bottle should last 18mths, cost of a refill is around $40, buy the bottles from the brew shop, then you own them and only pay for re-fills.

Great set up

very neat job on the door

own your own bottle eh?

wonder if I could buy a D bottle ....and get it filled with argon

Well a little disaster happened on Sunday, overnight the mirror above the taps fell off and lent against the taps emptyed the entire 20lt keg and 2/3s of the 45lt keg, there was a half inch of beer covering half of the floor

So after spending 4hrs cleaning the bottom room, I decided to put down a St Peters Ruby Red Ale

Here's some info on it.


St. Peter’s Hall is near Bungay in Suffolk and dates from around 1280. It is the centerpiece of the St. Peter’s Brewery site. In 1539 the east wing was added using materials from the nearby Flixton nunnery which was one of a dozen monastic houses given to Cardinal Wolsey by King Henry VIII to finance the building of a school in Ipswich, Suffolk’s county town. Then, as today, Suffolk barley was carefully malted to brew beers and ales and that tradition lives on today at St. Peter’s Brewery.
