I don't know quite how to answer that without seeming like a liar or bragging. So I'll just come out and say it, and leave you to decide for yourself.
My wife is actually very rational.
We're all lucky that they choose to live with us and I suppose that we all have similar experiences; :wave:
... so all I've done is highlighted the key word! :thumb:
I love optimism, so please let us know when you get your full Corny Keg setup complete with kegs, CO2 bottle, regulator, pipes, pumps, "Keezer" and other associated bits of kit: or the divorce, whichever comes first!
In the meantime, I will just keep on praying that I am still alive when you get everything! :thumb:
PS
:hat: :hat: :hat:
The words "wife" and "rational" seldom appear in the same sentence so hats off to you for composition. :thumb:
Hi!
I saw Hozelock pressure sprayers, 7 litre, for £25.
Although the price is not good when compared to Wilko, the outlet for the spray lance is near the base, rather than on the top.
This looked very interesting.

I thought I would give an update on my 8 litre Wilco Spray bottle.
It worked just fine! :thumb:
I think I probably transferred the Belgian Pale Ale into it a bit early and with it being moved to France and warming up a bit, there was a little more fermentation to be had.
This wasn't a problem because it has a Pressure Relief Valve that lets off any excess pressure and I managed to completely empty the Spray Bottle without having to resort to using the air pump to maintain delivery pressure!
All in all it was a great success, but one which I won't repeat due to the sudden generosity of SWMBO! :thumb:
My only worry now is working out why SWMBO is feeling so guilty that I have been given the okay to purchase 2 x 10 litre SS Growlers, a CO2 pressurisation system and a Delivery Tap; especially after she complained about me purchasing the Spray Bottle from Wilco at about a 25th of the price!
It's enough to drive a man to drink! Luckily!

I heartily endorse all manner of diy tomfoolery from a purely ideological standpoint, but I should point out that the Homebrew company will deliver you corny kegs at the moment for under 40 a pop... and then you can feed delicious healthy beer to your five year old nephew without worrying that he grows lady parts and gets immediate cancer in them...
that said the sprayer option means you can easily administer life saving beer to any fallen comrades.
rad. I do actually think it would be a nice idea for small batch English ale, but scaling up wouldn't be worth fitting co2 posts etc to, plus everything is going to taste of plastic.
I'm very sensitive to plastic though, gone through there types of beer line before I found one that didn't taste of gak.
leave some water in one for a day or so and taste it. my guess is it won't be good.

The plastic in most PB's and Spray Bottles are "food grade" plastic. (Logic says that they have to be fairly impervious to chemicals to stay in one pieee when being used for spraying chemicals.)
With regard to "taste" I'm afraid that my taste-buds have been well ruined by a lifetime of smoking, drinking and eating curries so I have to rely on the labels nowadays.
THere's a photo somewhere on this Thread that shows a whole raft of Spray Bottles linked up to a CO2 system similar to a Corby Keg system. It gives massive flexibility at a tiny cost when compared to CK's; it just isn't for me. :thumb:
