Did you buy that for beerbelly.com.au ? Saw those epic nuclear burners on their site this week.

What I love about BeerBelly is you email them a query and BOOM! ...30 seconds later you get a response. The website is a bit of a late 1990's turkey but gotta love the customer service.

So she's got a way with words or "words" :-)

I've only ordered brewing stock online, never been in there.

Run the new burner yesterday,

It's much quicker and has the heat.

Jurys out as yet BB cos she's a sooty biatch at lower run speeds..knew this before hand but it's a fair pain...will need to tweak burner height and regulator adjustments before it gets my nod.

hello bear,

No it's a 15" steel Fairmont / Fairlaine rim ...they fit a coopers or Lion keg perfectly.. like real good.

For CUB kegs don't know but in both cases throw a tape measure over the arse of your keg then walk into wreckers prepared and ask for their stuffed(dented) rim's pile cos they're cheap and you gotta cut a slot in it anyway so a single dent is no probs once you cut it out....might just save you $15 or 3.75 pints at happy hour prices.
