Title: Good buy? Keg Kingdom corny starter kit
Post by: FlimFlamFlo on August 22, 2018, 09:52:39 PM
Any opinions on this as a starter set up?

I've read the guide on this site, want to keep things as simple as possible until I get the hang of it.

Thanks very much, Flim.

Keg is 90 new afaik, tap and disconnect there is 25 off Ali and reg is 40 so it's fair, I guess what about freight?
You will still need a tank from aj edge which will be 40 filled.

Thanks both of you.

The price was looking similar to what I was trying to cobble together myself on HBC - maybe I need to trust myself to buy the correct parts separately.

And thanks for the heads up on Keg Kingdom - I've only ever bought locally and never had any hassle so maybe I should stick with that :-)

The tap is junk. You'd be better off with a picnic tap

I would avoid Keg Kingdom at all costs!

I was waiting 3 months for an order, I emailed them and rang them several times with no reply/answer. Eventually had to get on to them on twitter.... only after the 3rd time replying on twitter did they actually send out an incomplete order... over 3 months late... I didn't even bother contacting them about the missing items as I assume they won't respond either!

Avoid
