You've got an esky spirits dispenser, a huge fridge with two keg taps behind you, a table with taps and clearly space for a keg, booze on top of the fridge and you're making a transportable camping keg. You my friend are an Aussie legend. 🤠🍻🍺🥃
As a refrigeration mechanic I think you did extremely well, that setup would be very popular at the campground, every Tom Dick and Harry would drop in... and good to see you still work in PSI none of this kPa crap👍
Mate... thank you so much for this video. It is by far the best DIY Kegerator video I’ve ever seen. Easy to understand and very educational. I’m doing this next weekend. Legend.
Really cool video, enjoyed it. I can see the attraction if youre brewing your own beer. For the majority who dont, might as well just use a can of beer, its a mini pressurised keg all in itself.
I've only found your channel after looking into the forbes range and your trip round aus.... whoops I mean wa. But this is out standing what have you come up with for brewing beer on the road. If ya ever in Vic hit me up beers are on me
Good on ya mate what a great idea to have a chilled beer 🍺 in bushes. I love this. I wanted to have in my car it ll be lovely 😊 I ll see if I can make it 🍻
Hey cam. I have met one of your friends in port hedland and he told me to check you guys out. Just wondering how you brew when your on the road?. And how you store it all?.
I played around with a setup to brew in the canopy while we travel, but I gave up on it. I couldn’t justify the room it took to do it. If you give it a crack, Kveik yeast is really forgiving of high temps and ferments really clean.
Top vid mate. What's a rough temp that would you keep the Ironman fridge at? ive been looking at the Kegorator gear for a while but havent got around to it. Love to see a vid on your home brew set up and how you fill the keg etc. Where do you get the keg from?
You could do, would definitely want to make sure its very cold before you pour it into the keg though. The colder it is, the less likely youll loose all your carbonation. Otherwise, if youre not brewing your own beer, you could always go spirits and a mixer. I regularly do 1L of spirits and 5L of mixer.
Once fermentation is complete, there is no more sugars added. I carbonate using bottled C02. But you could prime the batch with more sugar for natural carbonation at room temp if you wanted too.
@@WildTouring thanks for that fast response, i have tried brewing beer years ago and gave up but i like the idea of what you have done rather than a full size kegerator. luckily the boss loves an IPA but I like the darker beers. Do you have a link to where to get started with all of this tempting stuff apart from your own videos of course. thanks again
@@roscored1000 to start up again without investing too much in the beginning, pop into your local home brew shop and pick up a fermenter, some starsan (sanitiser for cleaning stuff), and a brew kit. Chat to them about where you’re at, they love to talk brewing and help newbies. Many home brew shops to demo nights where you can come in and do a brew with them. Start simple, coopers cans and brew sugars. Follow instructions on the tins. Keep it somewhere dark and cool (around 19degrees). Next thing I’d do, and arguably what makes the biggest improvement with home brewing, is controlling fermentation temps. Buy an old fridge off gumtree that your fermenter will fit inside (or two preferably!), and buy an inkbird 308T. This controller turns your fridge on and off to maintain the temp you set for fermentation (19degrees or thereabouts). Then look at experimenting with hop additions and different yeasts ect. And you could use the same fridge you ferment in, to house a keg & gas bottle for dispensing beer. Can drill a hole in the door if it to mount a tap, or just use a picnic tap setup inside the fridge. Simple keg setup (using your fridge) can be as cheap as $200. And saves hours of farting around bottling and cleaning! Lots of options, lots of fun!
@@WildTouring thanks I probably won't go down the home-brew road again more likely something similar to yours in a bar fridge as you suggest and just buy my beer in 10 l or 19 l amounts mauve 2 taps so she can have hers and me mine. Lots of things to do now, enjoyed your van video as well. Also your links no longer work but easy to track down thanks
Hey mate any chance you have a link to the 10L keg and do you know the height with the handles cut off and the disconnects on ? As I am wanting to make one out of my 38L Engle but only have 36cm of height to play with and no brew shop around me have one that fits that ?? Any help would be so good please
Garry when I do spirits In the 6L keg, I do 1L of spirits and 4 x 1.25L bottles of mixer. I stick the spirits in the freezer over night and the mixers in the fridge. Getting it all as cold as possible helps keep the gas in solution (keeps it carbonated). I pour it all into the keg cold, and dial the regulator in to 10-12 PSI (same as my pouring pressure for beer). That seems to work great for me.
@@WildTouring How long would this last for in a Keg if you were not drinking it? Like could you set it all up a couple of days before or does it have to be done on the day?

It was already carbed up in this video. But you can carbonate with this setup. Leave it at 2 degrees Celsius and pressure set at 10-12psi for a week and it'll be nicely carbed up.
@@WildTouring hey man any chance you would know the total height with all the disconnects on the 10L one as I am trying to make one of these out of my 38L Engle but can’t find a 10L keg to fit I have 36cm of height to play with .. any help would be so good please as this video has made me want to make one
Good clip homebrewer myself mate when the big lap start .i live in Roma southwest qld couple of hours from carnavon gorge worth a look ,if you come this way I'll join you for a night will have a beer together cheers

Cheers Rob, good on you mate, youll love it!
Cam this is without doubt the best video of the year - calling it now! Hahaha
Haha cheers mate!!!!
Really cool video, enjoyed it. I can see the attraction if youre brewing your own beer. For the majority who dont, might as well just use a can of beer, its a mini pressurised keg all in itself.
Cheers mate. haha yeah youre bang on.
just think of it as lowering your carbon foot print...lol
What would outdoor living be without a nice cold beer, love your work !
Nice one Cam no wonder Pete wants to go camping with you 🇳🇿👍😎😂
Haha yeah he's pretty fond of a beer or two!
You just keep delivering the goods Cam. That’s definitely right up my ally and will be making one myself one day. Cheers 🍻
Haha cheers Craig!
OMG .. I am going to be the envy of everyone on the OTT later on this year. An awesome idea
great video! didn't realise how easy it was to make a keg fridge, thankyou
Been waiting for this video :) I needed some inspiration to start brewing again and I think I now need to get down to the home brew supplies shop...
Good on you Marc, get back into it mate!
Awesome mate nice knob sign too lol!
Haha cheers mate!
Was wondering why you had so much hose. Makes perfect sense.
Just solved a problem mate ,legend.big Cheers , to you and Iron man . loved the bird bit.
thanks for giving me ideas for my next upgrade for my patrol.
No worries Darren 👌
Australian of the year for sure!
MATE!! You just earned your self a subscriber! Bloody fantastic.
Do you have a video for the spirit esky please mate.
Cheers man 🤙
Fantastic video mate! 👍🍻 definitely give this a shot some day
Where do you get the kegs from. And can you get them with beer in them as I can’t do home brew to save myself
Awesome video! Totally not necessary but now I want one haha
Haha yeah youre bang on! Make one!
You did it again cam... let me know when your home and ill pop round for a beer
Cheers brother, will do!
I'm making one for the boat 👍🏽Truckin ledgend, thanks
Bloody brilliant
Great piece mate, thanks.
what a great idea... Love it.
Cheers mate!
Love it cam what a great idea thanks for that i going to try that idea
Good on you mate, give it a crack!
so good! when doing spirits in kegs, are you letting the mixer go flat? or it doesn't matter and it just carbonates again when pouring?
Nah I pour it into the keg cold and carbonated, pouring straight from the bottle slowly so it doesn't go flat.
Great video cam do you have a rough price on the fridge ? Thanks
They seem to go for around $800, but youre best of checking with your local Ironman4x4 supplier.
Cheers 🥂, love your work
Damn that's so awesome!
Well done mate.
Hey cam are you using home brew? Or do you just pour beer from cans or bottles in thanks
I brew my own mate. Nothing flash, just Fresh Wort Kits or Extract (tins).
I've only found your channel after looking into the forbes range and your trip round aus.... whoops I mean wa. But this is out standing what have you come up with for brewing beer on the road. If ya ever in Vic hit me up beers are on me
You’re a legend mate! Thanks for all the info!
Outstanding
Absolutely awesome tutorial!!! Requesting a Ginger Beer please
Cheers Chris. Come along on a trip and cook us up a feed, ill bring the ginger beer!
Wild Touring sounds like a plan to me!!!
Great video mate, thanks for sharing
Now i knw how to repurpose my old engel cheers mate
Do it!
Do the rough tracks effect the beer? Was considering doing something like this but was worried the beer could go flat being shaken up constantly
Awesome video mate. Just to check where did you get the keg from?
I got mine from Ebay mate. I have both sizes now (6L for spirits and 10L for beer/cider/ginger beer);

2 degrees seems to be a good temp for me. I get my bigger 19L kegs from my local homebrew shop. The 6 and 10L kegs I got on ebay;
bit.ly/2FJhkVs
have you seen how you can use dry ice to recharge the gas bottles ?
Nice 1, just right before Australia day
That's rad...👍🍺...Can you put a normal store-bought beer in it or will it be too fizzy...

I take my hat off to you mate. Bloody legend.

Hey mate, just wondering after you are fermentation is completed, how is the sugar then added before it's put inside the keg.
Once fermentation is complete, there is no more sugars added. I carbonate using bottled C02.
But you could prime the batch with more sugar for natural carbonation at room temp if you wanted too.
inspirational, now to convince the boss.
Keep an eye out for another vid I’ll post in Jan with the new one 😉 I’ve gone bigger and better 😂

Not all hero’s wear capes

The most Aussie thing ever.
Bloody legend
Great video mate I’m interested in how to do a spirits version of this , do you mix the spirits and mixers together in a keg then pour it?
Im also interested in this, my only concern is coke going flat? Or becoming to carbinated? If thats a thing?

@@adamdunning1791 assuming it's kept on gas and cold, it'll last months.
Hey mate what underbody toolboxes do you have? are they the MRT2CS from MRT?
Yes mate they are
Hey mate what tap did you use for tower. Link won’t work?
Anything with a short shank around 30-50mm long will do. Like this

A quick q about your keg, i assume it was already carbonated prior to using in the fridge ?
It was already carbed up in this video. But you can carbonate with this setup. Leave it at 2 degrees Celsius and pressure set at 10-12psi for a week and it'll be nicely carbed up.
Nice 👍
Have you had a chance to see or does anyone know if the 10lt kegs fit?
Yeah ive got the 10L from the link in the description in there now. I had to cut the handles off it to fit though.
@@WildTouring thought you might have to do something with the handles. Good news it fit though.

Legend!!

WOW GREAT DETAIL IDEAL VIDEO MATE
KNOW OLD 110 FRIDGE MAKE MINI KEG UNIT
You should make these and sell them.
Not a bad idea mate, maybe one day!
Hmm now we need more videos on your other kegerators and brewing system.
Mate my 6yr old wants to know what your ‘DANGER kNOb ENTRY’ sign means??
hahahahaha my bad!
You are my hero.🤘👏👏🙌🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🍻🍻🥃🥃 hale wild touring.
As if I don’t drink enough piss
Hhahaha yeah I hear you mate!
All I can say is ..... Ken oath!
i dont drink beer but i am going to buy a small fridge
Thats no beer xD
Nice vid hardly drink
2 cartons of bush chooks = 16L of beer that fits in the fridge...…..and the most you can get is a 10L keg...….
Tough choice.
Haha yeah I know what youre saying. Its not practical, but its fun!
On the plus side though, it costs me around $10 a carton to make a decent brew.
Good clip homebrewer myself mate when the big lap start .i live in Roma southwest qld couple of hours from carnavon gorge worth a look ,if you come this way I'll join you for a night will have a beer together cheers
Cheers mate. Sounds good, don't know anything about that area so would love some local knowledge!
@@WildTouring good natural park with 2 private camp grounds google it and c wat you make of of it good walks with heaps of aboriginal art work
I think some one had a drinking problem

Bottle some of your home brew.
Happy campers staying drunk.
