for $75 you can almost get a corny keg.  I would invest in a corny keg picnic tap and set of disconnects

I would love a corny keg, but I can't afford nor have the space for another fridge to put it in.

Cheers.

I have one of the 9L kegs the 6L are even smaller

a 6 would fit no problem in the food fridge as long as the missus doesn't object.

Thanks for the link, something for me to consider in the future.

As it stands I have 6 mini kegs full of beer that I want to drink (and 6 more waiting to be filled with beer), so I've ordered the metal taps direct from Germany. I got stung with International bank charges. Shipping is a bit pricey too but is the same cost for anything up to 5kg, so I ordered a couple extra to sell on trademe.

Cheers.

Hi Ben, How much are you looking to sell them for? I might be keen to get one or two off your hands.

Hi William, I'm looking to sell them for $100 a piece. They haven't arrived yet though. Cheers.

$100 a piece? Didn't you say that you could get the replacements for $75?

How much better are they?

The $75 tap is the plastic one you get in the brewferm starter kit, these ones I have ordered from Germany are metal and look like a much better tap from photos. I can't say how much better they are as I've not tried them myself yet. I'll report back in this thread when they've arrived and I've started using one.

I know $100 is pretty pricey, but the amount it cost me in international bank fees/shipping I'd be better off keeping them for myself than selling them any cheaper than that.
