Kegging

[Mike Neilson]

Looking at doing a keg set up, Is it cheaper and easyer to go with the brew craft setup or designing your own set up, and getting the bits from the likes of Craft brewer, etc?
Whats your thoughts?

[Greg Tarr]

Thanks Pierre. I went with 4 Perlick SS 630s. I ordered them straight from the factory and they ended up just over 400$NZ. So not cheap. But they work beautifully.

I think the tap in the link you've posted is a Perlick tap?

[Pierre Malan]

Sold as a Perlick, but doesn't have the Perlick 'P'.  So some kind of knock off I think.  I'm itnerested as the perlicks sound amazing, but it is the forward sealing that is really important.  I missed the boat buying these 6 months ago when the exchange rate was favourable!

Oh yep I see it now. For what it's worth, it looks identical. And while the craftmanship is really good with the Perlicks, the actual design is really simple. And after I paid $100NZ for each, I still had to buy a $20 shank and a tap handle for each.
