Cask beer

Post by Steven P »

Found this site.

Full pin setup costs about $300 including shipping and 25 of each of the bungs. NB is out of their pin cask kits which makes me a sad panda.

Yeah, I'd rather pay $200 for a NB setup with all the goodies and a few extra bungs. I'm hoping they come back in stock before August.

Why not convert a Corny?  Or use an air-pressure regulator on a Corny (and a pump on the out line), and call it good?

I plan on staying gravity pour. Corny conversion just doesn't have the same wow factor as a gravity pour from a pin/firkin at fest time.

I have too many other projects to think about / pay for before I even look at beer engines.

I think the pins are cool and really like the simplicity and cost of the gravity pour. I am sure NB will them back in before too long.

Steven,

We are expecting more sometime around the end of the month or early next. This is subject to change as they are shipped from the UK.
