I know there was to be a "quality group buy of kegs" aka the ones shanna, got, they were top drawer and well worth the money saving about 20 off retail.
http://www.candirect.co.uk/, I'm sure he will pm u the details
Why don't you start a gb with a list to see who else is interested? happy to help get them delivered if its after start of july, imagine that a gb outside the pale!
With the global shortage of them like gold they are a good investment, (I don't want any day traders telling me where gold is today, I know!)

I've been looking into this. Britvik don't want to know about selling theirs. If anyone has any contacts there shout  now!

direct are about €55 for ball lock and €45 pin. Add delivery to that unless we can do a deal witg then in numbers it could be the guts  of €60 a pop. Top condition if Decla's ones are anything to go by.

Shanna had much better prices than that and it was a moderate buy ???

Ciderhead

Na Pin locks are dreadful things and always breaking or bending pins, the homebrewing community (clever folks that we are) have adopted ball locks as the standard and that's why there are none of the bloody things left in circulation :(

Found a mug selling them on DD for 80 each, but you can get them retail for 65 in HBC at the mo.

Unfortunately not! They've been out of stock for months now!

I'm interested in buying a few at the moment, so a group buy would be fantastic.

This guy bought them of me some time ago.. Eur 80,00 :o anyway, the fact is that cornies are harder to get week after week and sooner or later they're going to be impossible to get from companies like candirect or others. Treat your cornies nicely lads they're putting up on prices as time goes on.

Am'nt I glad that I got 10 when the epic buy happened,the rule of thumb is if its for sale and its cheap,buy it.Tell the wife later ::).

I'll fire  off an email to can direct later or tomorrow and see what I can shake out of them.
