An unboxing and use of the ICE MASTER Beer pump that I use in my Garden Bar Pub - This is currently my favourite pump!! Contact channel owner: philyourboots21@gmail.com
thanks phil ill try to tighten it more . se what happens .. i had to renew wee black seal as it was split . ill have to waite see if pin is there . that was the problem with my first macxhine .. cheers for now
Good it's really good, so far I've had amber ale LAGER and cider in it I just can't fault it, and if your willing to refill the kegs it's really cost effective.... 8pm friday is my next live come on and say hello, I will be using this pump then as well
I forgot to add in the cleaning bit so will do a short but there loads that I had to leave out as I was rambling I will do that today.... I enjoyed that one!
Watching now on another device, but thought I’d mention, maybe a bit of tubing on the end of the funnel will help keep the head down when filling? That’s what they do when filling growlers in our pubs. Fills from the bottom, decreases the foam. Tried that, Phil? Just a thought. Cheers!
Thanks Steve I was a little nervous as I didnt wanna lose 11 cans but it worked out well, as soon as I'm allowed out i. Gonna try Guinness, looking forward to that.... Cheers!
Hi Phil Thanks for the great vid. Ive just bought one and everytime i insert a co2 canister and screw it gome all the co2 dispenses in one go 😢. Used all 3 now and still cant pull a pint. Any suggestions please. New cartridges on the way. Cheers
@@philyourboots it’s a bit naughty of tescos they sold them at £99 in jacks waited a while and stuck them in the main stores at £130. Now they have reduced them to £110 wondering if I should wait for them to drop more 😆
hi again phil i was just gona buy the barels with preasure in them . that would cut out the co2 problem wouldnt it ? if it will sems the easy way lol . let me know what you think mate
Hi if the barrel has pressure in it as soon as you break the seal on top it would all burst out.... I wish I could get my hands on it I bet its something simple
@glynnmorley7935 ok might be a crack but have you seen ( I'm sure you have) the silver pull catch on the front, this releases the water inside from under the unit..... like you said it might just be faulty
hi phill im going to refill keg with cans . im gona use a clear tube and funell . i dont have to take the bung out if tube fits in hole eahh ?? or am i wrong . cheers mate
No as long as the pipe goes through it's fine, a tip if the pipe dont touch the bottom ( I never used one) tilt it to 45 degrees, it should be fine.... you should fit 11 x 440ml cans in.... i usually get 10.5 cans in then during the other half can. Let me know how it goes
@@philyourboots thank you very much, it is leaking apparenrly from different spot than from draim switch, it seems to me it is leaking from the body of the machine..I will dissasamble tomorrow and migt find the reason 🙂
@@philyourboots yes he’s tried the 3 bottles that has come with it , he only opened it last night I bought him it for grandas day we call it , it just won’t pour a pint , could it be that it’s a beer pump and I bought a cider keg , as very catalogipue won’t take it back said it’s none returnable , and I paid cash for it £139.99 ,
@@Nanna-MO ok on the end that punctures the gas bottle there is a very small seal... see if that's in place properly.... you should have a couple of spare seals inside the box
@@philyourboots he’s up the allotment at the minute al get him to check once he’s back , so the thatchers keg fine in it, see I’m useless and thought it takes all kegs
Home bargains..... if your up for it I saved the empties and fill with either home brew or cans.... cheapest is the 3l bottles..if you buy a keg they usually come pre gassed so shouldn't need to add any gas yourself for those... amazon another good place

hi i thought the adapters were for them phil so we can use them ??. my son had to put pin back in again . why does it fall out all the time . same with first one .. i thought i could use the 5ltr preasurised barels no ????
Thanks for the upload. I have just purchased this. Looking forward to using it. 2 questions. Where are the best places to purchase the 5L Kegs and how long do the 16g CO2 cannisters last. I got 3 with it, do I need to buy more? Thanks
Hi so I hope you enjoy as much as I do.... to answer your questions 1, the 5L kegs differ depending on what part of the country you live in for some reason.... Doom Bar sells a lot on Tescos my local its £16 then Iceland do Budvar for same price but my local in st helens don't stock it then beer monster Web site you can get anything you want. Also when your keg is empty you have a few more options, ebay or Amazon sell replacement (reusable) bungs £2 for 4. Then I fill them with cans of cider, LAGER bitter or IPA. Not tried guineas yet... you get a few weeks in the fridge once sealed. I also put home brew in mine, by far the cheapest option (last batch was 34p a pint for lager!) Then tour second question is the cO2 I started with 1 per keg but the tap acts as a non return valve so you can change the keg and not lose any gas. So I'm getting over 1 and half kegs per bulb... I purchased mine from Amazon but ebay also sell them... the more you get the cheaper they are. I paid 50p each for mine.... some things to look out for are the gas seal can fall out when changing it, that holds the pin in place for piercing the gas, you should have I spare in the box but I have a few more just in case but I'm still on 1st one..... overall I really rate the kit, nothing like a fresh pint after work chilled!! Anything else please ask... ENJOY!
Sorry never said if your careful 11 cans can fit in the empty kegs before the head comes out anything over 10.5 I'm happy with I just drink what's left in the 11th can
@@philyourboots thanks for the reply. I'm from Bolton so the prices will roughly be the same. I saw your reuse the keg video, with 10 Carling cans.😂. Something I would do. I'll look on Ebay for the CO2 thanks.
hi phil .. once you have the keg in . how long does it last for if you dont use it right away . and how long would the cans in it last for . im not a great pint drinker lol.. before it goes off i meant
Ok I have never tested it but home brew would continue to improve for 3 months, cans I think 3 or 4 weeks, then in the chiller again it don't last that long with me but I think 10 days
Hi I've used cans, home brew, 2 liter cider bottles and I bought a keg just to get a spare keg and all great.... I use cans more than anything now, if you look at my live videos when I'm pulling pints they are all from this and all great... have you bought one? Reason I'm asking is Jack's have them in for £109
Great stuff..... only thing to watch out for is the seal to where the gas fits sometimes sticks to the empty gas canister but it just pushes back in..... you get spare as well.....PROPPER money saver :)
If its Pearced yes you will lose it... I'm still on same seal with mine, only other thing I could think of is a kinked gas line, pm me on FB and I will try do a detailed video on fitting a keg for you then you can see the gas installation.... will cost me a gas but I will use it to clean beer line hope you get it sorted buddy I hope I'm not just extremely lucky to have a perfect one
hi again phil . im having probs with mu co2 .. i had no preasure so i went to replace co2 but when i unscrewed it heard the big noice as it still had loads in it .. so i put new co2 in and iv still no preasure .. should i hear a sound when i screw in the co2 .. im getting fed up now lol

So easy to reuse and you get spare bungs with them... see you Friday

Thanks Daniel but inserted it, when I connected the gas I had the valve fully open, I've filled 2 since and I'm ok with it now... love the kit tho
I've tried the tubing..... sooooo much better and stops the heat forming... Thanks for the tip!!
Brilliant video Phil I love messing about and trying things I use my beer engine to pull straight out of 5L kegs especially Doombar . Works well mate

great vid thanks for all this info
No problem, hope it helped
well done mate great video .. my ice master just came today . cant wait to try it .. cheers
Brill, any issues message me, also I will do a PROPPER video on re using the kegs
I’ve just bought this for my hubby for Xmas but struggling to find 5L kegs all the supermarkets have 6L!!!
6L may fit but are you aware you can buy empty ones and fill them with your own beer?
These are in my local Tesco at £110 I missed out on the jacks offer. Tempted to buy one.
Mine is great
It's good as it can be used with any 5l keg but I also fill the empty kegs with cans and home brew

Hi if the barrel has pressure in it as soon as you break the seal on top it would all burst out.... I wish I could get my hands on it I bet its something simple
The red and back bung can you reuse them or do you need to replace them each time you refill a keg?
I reuse them.... they don't 100% seal again but I've used and kept a full keg in the fridge with these in for 2 weeks before putting in the pumps
Good comprehensive review,does the Carling taste any better from the machine also does it keep it fresh for a day or two
Hi ive left it in for 5 days it was fine, i also fill kegs and leave them in the fridge for a week
I've just bought one from Currys it's going back underneath it's leaking water
It's not the seal for draining is it?
Underneath there's a cover you can remove the leak is coming from somewhere inside
@glynnmorley7935 ok might be a crack but have you seen ( I'm sure you have) the silver pull catch on the front, this releases the water inside from under the unit..... like you said it might just be faulty
Thank you for replying
Hi Phil, have you tried putting guiness in the keg?
Hi no not yet i have 18 Guiness in the car so might try it tomorrow
no worries mate you know a lot more than me lol

Hi Phill, my machine is leaking the water from the bottom. Is it necessary to put the water underneath the keck? 😮
Hi it may be the seal from the drain switch at the front, however it will run without water but mught not be as efficient

@@philyourboots so do you need to use the co2 cannisters every time an if so weres cheapest place to buy plz sorry to mither pal I'm a noon 😂😂😂
@@philyourboots noob
You really have to lift these 5kg kegs into the machine? There are other machines outside, which have simply a door. Just saying.
Beer comes out with a good head and after a few minutes it goes flat. Any ideas Phil?
Is that not the beer keg faulty
@@philyourboots put two budvar in Christmas Day seemed to be the same. Still trying to master the gas too if you have any advice ?
Only advice on gas is go slow once you get it mark it as you need to turn it off when not in use.... that might be something to do with flatness?
Hello. How cold does it come out of the machine? Cheers
Sorry. I'm looking to buy the empty kegs. Where did you get the seal thing to fit on the top? Cheers again.
Hi here's a few links, empties are about £9 but I just reuse the empty kegs so have never paid for 1.... linksharing.samsungcloud.com/61KGEhN4b2wD
Also you should have a couple of these in the box..... linksharing.samsungcloud.com/aXDKpzfo7fTO

5ltr pressure barrels I will look but if you look how it connects you need to open it to drop in the T bar to pour the beer
