Cheers. Ive a bunch of leaky stainless QD's I bought from MB&W. Load of shite. Went with the ones from morebeer.com & they're class. I actually have a bunch of female QDs from morebeer surplus if anyone is interested in buying them. The male QD's from mb&w are fine, just the females dont seal at all.

Did you have any hassle getting the stuff from USA from Morebeer.com and what was shipping like ? They have some good items on there but i always stayed away because i got sick of dealing with USA sites that wanted $50 to ship a QD and the like and assumed they would be the same. ;D

I got a bunch of stuff shipped from morebeer to a friend in San Francisco who then forwarded it on to avoid customs. I got the blichmann chiller & burner plus every bit of hardware I needed for my brewery build. I sent my mate 120e which covered p&p plus few pints for himself.  The morebeer qd's are the real deal.

We designed the original stainless QD's for the brewing industry over 10 years ago. The same manufacturer has been machining them for us ever since. The design has certainly been copied but not with consistent quality. That is why MoreBeer! Stainless QD fittings have a near unanimous 5 star review.
On tap: Flanders, Gose,
Fermenting: Oatmeal Brown, 200ish Fathoms,
Ageing: bretted 1890 export stout.
To brew:  2015 RIS, Kellerbier, Altbier.

So, I measured the barb and ordered 3/16" or 5mm tubing, should be a nice tight fit.

So, that was hard than expected (to get tubing to fit).... so in the end I just ordered this - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00829HLSA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 and it's a perfect it, comes with tubing that fits the adapter on my connector (3/16" ID) so I might finally get some beer out of this keg!

Anyone else buy one of the Chinese knock-offs? I'm very tempted to buy one but I'm fearing the worst.

Why would you risk it, considering the great value GB for taps we are just closing?

Johnny won't be able to see the group buy forum as he's not a full member.

Partridge is secretary, but I don't remember giving him time off.  :P

One of the admin team should be able to check it in the mean time.

i.e. you are showing as full member.
Let me know if anything is amiss.
