I saw that too, won’t criticise mind you as I’m just the same! Takes the wife all day to drink a half and I’m 3 pints in by then! This is why although I’d love a pump like this in my bar I probably wouldn’t as I’d never leave the place!

I got a mate like you, he knocks his first pint down like you. I'm standing there with 3/4's of a pint and he says "Your round" Great Vid as always!

[@TomTremayne]

The thing that made Pat's last video so great was seeing him get pissed, in real time, gulping down the ale, each pint in just 2 or 3 go's....lovely to see & exactly how I drink beer! Should be a compulsory new law...since fucking lockdown, each pint must now be drunk in 2, or maximum 3, gulps! Imagine my horror then to see in this video, cuts & the glass has magically gone down!? No Pat, we don't want that, no cuts to cover up you going outside & tipping some on the lawn! Gulp it down man, live, on camera....maybe get really pissed & smash the pub up a bit.

[@graemeelliott4147]

Thanks for all the info Patrick. I'm now set-up with an almost identical beer in a box system and living the dream. I used the exact same handpump and thermostat - coupled it to a normal undercounter fridge, with an in-line non-return valve in the beer line. My local brewery (Bishop Nick) deliver next day for free to my house but (being in the South East) I'm paying £60 for a 36 pint polypin. I sometimes get them on offer for £52, so I'm paying between £1.40 and £1.60 a pint overall (i.e. nothing compared to London prices!). My next move is to mount the whole system on a portable trolley, so I can use it in the garden kitchen in Summer, then indoors in Winter. I'll have to make the whole arrangement as 'sympathetic as possible to get planning permission from 'She Who Must Be Obeyed' of course before it can be brought indoors. I wish you (continuing) good health Sir! Cheers Graeme.

I don’t think that beer is going to last 14 days at that rate? Another interesting and well produced vid. A pleasure to watch. I also liked the beer 🍺 label detail - the touch of a perfectionist 👍

[@timmanc]

Hi Patrick thank you for this video. You answered so many questions around the set up that I couldn’t find anywhere else and in the most personable and entertaining way. I now have a clear plan for my own set up which I’ll be building once we move in 2024. Can’t wait to see some more pub shed videos once your back. Hope all ok and keep safe and well.

[@Norexplorer]

Great setup and great video, Pat - as always :) Tip for temperature control; if you store the temp probe for the inkbird in a glass of water inside the fridge it will replicate temperature of the beer better and not be affected as much by ambient temperature changes if opening the fridge door turning the cooling relay on/off unnecessary.

I do miss the smell of the Ward's Brewery down at the end of Eccy road. :(

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes Stuart, remember it well

[@garyellis1437]

Another great vlog, cheers Pat. Your setup is very similar to mine but I haven't used it yet so the cleaning aspect was particularly useful. I looked at a cooling unit for the pump but, as you say, they're very expensive. So what I've done is made my own, it's just a small cool box full of water with a small pond pump in it. This pumps the water to the hand pump and then it returns to the ice box. The ice box is in the fridge, above the beer box and seems to work well :)

[@MrPianoKnee]

Water is at maximum density at 4° C. So convection may be sufficient if your chilled vessel of water, in the refrigerator, is a few feet above the hand pull. Be sure to insulate the cool convection tubing. The taller the refrigerated vessel is, the better. Terminate the warm return at the top of the vessel and the descending cool water tubing at the base of the vessel.

[@RobCanada]

@@MrPianoKnee Amazon sell small circulation pumps for £10, like yourself I'd thought a small tank in the fridge at the top and insulated lines. I just like my beers cold. I've had way to many warm pints :(

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Sounds interesting, luckly with our climate temperature not too much of a problem apart from when we have a great wave like last week.interesting to build a cooler set up though, thanks Pat

[@garyellis1437]

Patrick Dickinson Yeah I think it was just something to give me something to do. Like you, I always like to have a project on the go. The idea behind mine (since I don’t have an awesome bar like you) is to carry the whole setup outside and set it up next to the BBQ when we have family over so it may be useful on hot days :)

Welcome to Mr D's Ale House! Well that puts my Speckled Hen in the shade, though I'm not really a drinker, and, I can make pint last a couple of hours. Oh Eck, Pat, I got a couple of big pieces of mirror out of a skip, about 15 years ago - about 4ft X 3ft, as I recall, and for free. The builders were glad to see the back of it! It occurs to me that you could add a small water tank to the top shelf of your fridge, and pipe that to the water jacket of the engine. Add a small electric caravan water pump, and circulate the water from fridge to pump and back again. Just a thought.

[@duncanrobinson3200]

Great pub you've created in a garden shed. I don't know if you are into homebrewing but I got back into home brewing after a 20 year break (I used to make it in the 80's and 90's with my late father). I find a good way of keeping the beer fresh is to bottle it - it doesn't last more than a few weeks in a keg. Homebrewing has come a long way in the last 20 years; the 2 can kits from 'Woodforde's Brewery in Norfolk and 'St Peter's Brewery in Suffolk make excellent beers - and I'm a northerner from near Rochdale in Greater Manchester. Woodforde's Wherry bitter is great as a homebrew and St Peter's Ruby Re ale also - St Peter's do an IPA kit also - they also sell the large kegs of beer or bottles - but I find for value and better taste the homebrew kits knock the socks off the commercial equivalents.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Duncan, brewed my own years ago, but with ready availability have been using the 20 litre boxes. May brew on future, as it has moved on like you say, thanks Pat

[@dcobblers]

Fantastic! I could sit in there for hours. Don't worry about the carpet, just tip a pint of beer on it every day to keep it smelling authentic. It's probably been suggested, but to keep all the lines cool it's easy enough to mimic a commercial setup without spending much . All it would take is a tub of glycol/water in the fridge with a small (pond) pump circulating it down pipes that spiral around your beer lines feeding the water jacket on the tap then back up to the fridge. It'd save you having two pints just to get to a cold one, but I suppose that might be a bit counterproductive. I look forward to seeing some more wild camping videos! I was out on Kinder early this week and it wasn't as busy as I feared.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks may set up a cooling system but would only really need in in our UK summer, hope to be back out soon, I had thoughts that everybody else would be out, the car parks and footpaths have been more busy than I have ever seen, all the best Pat

@@patrickdickinson6492 Probably do as much work keeping things from freezing! I used the same controller as yours to keep my homebrew fermenting in the attic. The paths are quite busy in fair weather/weekends but off the main routes on weekdays it's fine. I walked the Edale/Kinder Skyline on Tuesday and probably only saw a dozen or so people over 23 miles.

[@steelcity321pb6]

When I see you Patrick, I see a skilled, and dexterous man. I will make one small suggestion if it is fine with you Pat that should make you public house more comfortable. Since this is now summer, air vents and a controlled extra fan arrangement might be beneficial, and it doesn’t need to be elaborate as I’m sure it will get very hot and humid in there since there are no windows: and a regulated under seat heating system for the fall and winter months ...just a thought my friend. I have similar systems inside my workshop, and I’m glad I installed them ...tinkering with vintage valve electronics equipment can certainly generate a fair amount of heat at this time of year, and not quite enough heat in winter LOL. Yes my friend, an unusual, as well as a very fascinating project ...I love it! Best regards, Phil.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Phil, yes a very good idea, the other week when it was very warm the temperature reached 35 C far too hot, a fan and vent would of helped, but now the fridge does,nt even have to cool the beer, it's at a nice 12C as is the general temperature.

[@haroldhorseposture9435]

Yeah ,better have another. Just to be sure . Y' never know ! Nice to see you've got a good hygiene routine going on , just as in brewing ,it makes the difference between success and failure/disappointment . Also , this is the only examplw I've seen so far of correct social distancing in the "sucker" so far ! the wire for my thermostat is routed thru' the silicone seal on the door , not obtrusive ,but as the fridge is also my fermentation chamber ,it has the probe in a thermowell in either the fermenting vessel ,and when finished , a thermowell in the keg/pressure barrel . All controlled by a home-built unit based on an STC100 controller. Keg is no longer a dirty 4-letter word ! Works O.K. for the hoppy stuff we both like. Also , I did a ESB bitter , turned out REALLY good, can't seem to find a quality bitter like you used to get that suits me . It worked great with just a bit of blanket pressure to keep theair out. By crikey , it was good. Like Sam Smith's on steroids. Brewday's looming again ,and there's always packs of Citra hops in my freezer , so guess wot's on next / I'll have to try and bottle some for ya.But it will have to be swigged frsh , mind !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Dan, another wildcamping video out later tonight, thanks Pat

[@adamhibbertHOM]

I get my hand pull tomorrow and I've got a box or easy rider ready. I'll make sure I have a good Yorkshire gulp for you. Thanks for helping my dad figure out what was needed and where to go 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Your very welcome, hope you all enjoy the beer, thanks Pat

[@davidberlanny3308]

Hi Pat been smiling all the way through this one, big smiles!! I think our beer tastes are similar, the one I look for when back home is Summer Lightning (Hopback brewery Salisbury) and also like Hoegarden think it's Dutch. Looking forward to trying moonshine, mind!! That said I think the wise choice is to stay local. Been an explosion of micro breweries over here in the last few years producing IPAs and similar Good luck from Spain!!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes David, so many micro pubs setting up at the moment, which is a good thing I like a bit of variety and the great choice of real ales....thanks Pat

[@richardevans6655]

Bloody marvellous......im sitting here in Australia....feeling thirsty. Watching you. I can almost taste it. Love your pub mate. Well done....

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Richard

[@ianrsa8422]

I have,e always been a pathetic beer drinker but you have inspired me to pull my socks up and persevere.

[@garrygreen3210]

Cracking stuff, thanks for brightening my evening Pat! Pedigree ... THE drink of my student days in Derby 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Glad to bring back a few memories Garry, all the best Pat

[@darrenwindle3592]

My Mrs said get a shed built for my motorbike. So I did its now a bar aswell lol .Thanks to seeing your videos cheers from another Sheffield bloke 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

No better place, I spend more time in the shed pub than the house, all the best Pat

My new favourite KZbin channel! Cheers from Canada.

[@andrewparton1551]

Yet another great piece of entertainment from a very down to earth bloke. Nice piece of kit you've produced there Pat. If you fancy a mirror for the back of the bar we have one here (Barnsley) which is surplus to requirement. It measures 65"×31" in a darkwood surround. Just a thought. Keep up the good work.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Andrew kind offer there, not too sure what I' ll do with the bar at moment, but thanks, all the best Pat

[@rhodericlourens3323]

Hi from South Africa. I love your pub and your enthusiasm. As a hobbyist home brewer I would love to have my own little pub to enjoy my beers. My personal favorite brew is still a good IPA.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Love the IPA,s myself Rhoderic

[@davidfairbanks3707]

Proper northern class, traditional pub, no TV and a pint that lasts two mouthfuls. Alway a pleasure watching Pat and if you get chance give shipyard a try nice blonde with grapefruit undertones. Right up your street.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks David, sounds very nice, thanks Pat

[@smokeytentacles]

That intro is a fine work of cinema

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Really nice of you to say......thanks Pat

[@Jimmy-1867]

Really enjoyed this vid pat ,looking down the garden as to where I can build a pub

[@markkendall9167]

Another great video in your Pub Pat. You make swift work of 4 pints.....!! Legend.

[@GardenHermit]

Bit late commenting Patrick - just found your videos while looking for 'bag in a box' info. Just got my own beer engine - and have a pub shed (smaller than yours) up the garden and home brewery in the garage. Thanks for the superb video - really enjoyed it. Glyn (from Southampton - but originally from Rotherham :)

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Nice to hear from you Glyn, you have just probably built the best thing you could ever build, hope you have some great times there, all the best Pat 👍

[@GardenHermit]

@@patrickdickinson6492 Thanks Pat - so true - haven't done any blogs of my pub shed for quite a while but here's a link to an earlier one - just gives you a glimpse of my micro pub shed effort ..... realaleadventures.blogspot.com/2015/09/i-cant-believe-weve-been-in-here-for.html

[@leebrearley4397]

Id just love to stop here for a pint!. What a nice chap.

[@paulhumphries3795]

Loved seeing the WARDS BB bar towel, I worked at the Brewery for many years until it sadly closed...👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes remember the brewery and the beer, sad to see such a famous Sheffield brewery go.... thanks Pat

[@UnoDat]

Legend. The whole process looks so easy, now I just need to find a way to get my wife's tools out of the shed...

[@Bender24k]

Pinnacle of awesomeness Patrick! Glad to see you doing well, I do enjoy your videos a lot.

[@LordTechnopants]

I don't even drink beer, but you sure made me thirsty Pat! Well done on a productive lock-down.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks, a enjoyable way to spend lockdown, thanks Pat

[@davidflamee]

How to survive the lock down?. You smashed it!!!. "Just one more", 4 pints later that was funny. Can I suggest, for a name, The Megatron. That was the video that made me thirsty, and, if it doesn't go viral....it should. Take care

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks David
