    Been back a year or more. Not a lot mentioned. So, rather than be accused of Zombie jobs;

    I'm looking at Cornie Kegs. (Can't believe I'm doing this. Long history. I'm not a nube) Just like to be brought up to pace, please?

    Want two. What's the craic on Connectors ~ is that what they're called? The things with the dials. €30.00 to €130.00, it looks like.

    And taps? I see the " Party Tap " things. Two bits of plastic and a tube? Tenner. I've also seen plastic snap and four gallons piss out! :eek: I prefer to buy Quality. Once. Steel appeals.

    Initial outlays, for the best, doesn't bother me. Living on my nerves does.

    Friendly and focused input most appreciated.

    Thankyou :)

    If in Dublin Mottley brew sells keg, regulator and co2.

    All you need is gas line and a tap.

    RasTa; I'm never likely to end up in Dublin. I take it they can't send it then?

    My first port of call was going to be my local, to be honest. Though, whether they can access a 'spare' tank seems dubious, at best.

    Then again? These things are so widely used, there must be a not too difficult way. I haven't had time to read Goats Guide yet. Perhaps it'll shed some light?

    Think there is some place in Galway, Bray too. You might also be able to rent one but not sure how much that works out.

    Cheers, man. I'll look into it, next week. Won't be in a position to start lashing the cash till then. It's got to be done though. I've ~ brutally expensively, as it happens! ~ somewhat painted myself into a corner. Now, I'm having to put up with some quite 'tangy' beer. Not a happy bunny then.

    Not willing to go backwards. Just have to bite the bullet and go all out shiny. Keg's 'n all.
