Go the kegs Kev!

And buy new ones. Re-conditioned just don't do it for me. I'll be selling all of my re-conditioned soon.

Shouldn't you update your location, Kev? And yeah, the wheelie bin-diving sure works well for stubbies. I did that once and got enough VB stubbies to do two batches.

Also Why TF would you buy new kegs!? They are so much more expensive! Are you made of money?
w00t!

I have hundreds of stubbies.
All of them I collected from the bins around my golf club.
It's a never ending supply. It meant a bit of work to soak and clean them, but now that I have my stocks built up I only take longnecks, about 1 or 2 a week.

I am not in a position to build a new tap setup yet. Was just after some bottles to get me through. I had thought of bin diving for them but was hoping to score a bunch of bottles that were exactly the same so I don't have to move the bottle capper arm up and down to cap every different sized bottle. Nothing worse IMHO!

I suppose if I concentrated on nly collecting one bottle type (like VB bottles as was mentioned) it might be easier. But it then makes them harder to find. I might have a go on bin night this week and see what happens. Cheers guys!
Prost and happy brewing!
