think taf is in as well how many do we need again for a group buy ?

Rossa

To quote a supplier 'We could offer you 5% discount on orders of 5 - 9 bottling guns & accessory
kits or 10% on 10 and over.'

5% looks approx 100 but once I have the numbers I'll get a final price. 10 guns will be  circa €90.

Excellent. Up to 5.
Taf might be 6. Cara_eire thought he might want 2 so if they all  come in we need just 2 to get to ten. I'll get tweeting.

Toying with the idea of getting one of these. If you get to 9 I just might make myself number 10 as no point in missing out on the extra 5% ;-).

Have to discuss this with Santa, elves and probably the easter bunny as well. I was wondering when do you intend to close the book on this and pull the trigger on the purchase?

There is no limit on the number really. It might change the shipping but I'll find out if we get that far. I was hoping to get these before christmas so I can bottle a load and give them away but we'll see.

I also need to find out for certain if the extra y piece is needed.

Looks like i got here just in time!  ;D  (just the one though, mate pulled out)

So we have ten. We can take more as ten was the minimum to get the 10% discount. I sent the vendor an email to clarify the price but it looks like it will be about €93 delivered without the 'splitter and Flare' .  I need to clarify exactly why this might be needed. It seems the splitter and Flare will be approx €7 which takes us to €100.


Rossa

This is from the blichmann site with regards to the adccessory kit:

'Accessory kit for the Beer Gun with necessary tubing and fittings. Includes a liquid ball-lock disconnect, a 5 foot length of hose for your CO2 line with 1/4" stainless flare connectors on each end, one stainless 1/4" swivel nut, and a brass 1/4" NPT X 1/4" flare adapter.'


'Also needed but not included is a T or Y adapter to split the gas line between the keg and the Beer Gun.'

This is the the picture h&g sent me of their extra splitter. Basically it will split the gas line and connect it to the accessory pack beer line that is 1/4 inch.

I think I have enough bits to cobble this together but others might not.

I am going to get a final price on this once I can get a currency conversion. I don't want to be short and go looking for more money or end up losing out myself.
