    I bought a Pilsner from the Big Pack, section. Hopefully it's nice, I've never not enjoyed German Pilsner
    I'll prob go for the Paulaner next.
    I'm looking to buy one of the taps and having a stock of kegs handy:pac:

    Probably down to what transport the postman has; mine is on a cargo bike (so takes more parcels than normal, but maybe not 5KG ones); but there are areas where they're on normal bikes, on foot or in cars.

    Yeah, my 'post-person' drives a van, but she's quite small and 4 of these kegs are quite heavy.
    I got a delivery of a large parcel from Amazon.De yesterday, sorted in Parkwest Sorting Office, but delivered by a lad in a tracksuit in a white Peugeot Partner, they must be drafting in people to keep the sorting office clear.

    Back to beer talk,
    I noticed all the Veltins kegs were snapped up in my local Supervalu, but they had a couple of the White Hag left.

    My order took over 3 weeks to go from in process to shipped... Once its shipped its here within a week or so

    I would say with Covid maybe delivery's are being affected in Europe.

    Its worth the long wait anyway!

    Was it packaged in one box?

    Yeah, cardboard box, probably not too structurally sound, but the fact it weighs so much means it's not horsed around. One keg with a small dent, all intact though.

    I've been toying with getting a mate to send me a keg from the US (he owns a brewery), does anyone have any idea of the cheapest way to get it here ?

    In SV Celbridge they have a selection of Irish Craft Beer 5l kegs 35-38 Euro.
    They also have Warsteiner and Veltins for 25 euro.
    They seem to sell fairly fast

    How do you dispense these, is there an internal tap or have you bought a unit ? Genuine interested question!

    Is anyone here using the mini kegs with a tap and little co2 canister attached? If so does it go anyway to replicating draught beer in a pub or is the gas just a gimmick? A friend who bough a few mini kegs says its just the same as drinking out of a can so I was wondering if adding co2 makes any difference at all.

    Im thinking of going back to homebrewing soon but want to get away from the hassle of filling bottles and disinfecting them. Which is why mini kegs are an attractive prospect, 5 of them would be enough for a 23 litre batch.
