Advice on purchase of keg setup kit

#1 Post by kingdona » Wed Nov 24, 2010 9:09 am

Hi All - I have been searching around and found this setup from beveragefactory.com and wondered if you keg pros could give me some feedback on whether it appears to be a decent deal:

http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbee ... _kit.shtml

It comes with everything pictured except the c02 tank. The shipping calculates out to only $10.00 (a little surprised by that with three corny kegs in the mix). I realize that I could probably piece each of these things together, possibly for less but being a newbie I like the idea of getting everything I need bundled for a low ship rate.

I also checked some locally like at bachus & barleycorn and their prices seem to be way higher on a lot of things than a lot of the homebrew site, even if you add in shipping.

Thanks for any feedback.

You might check this out, just for a comparison. I have had good luck with them in the past. They are having a 7 percent off sale over Thanksgiving, so that might help.
When I first went to the site, I thought it said 70 percent... I was getting out my credit card, when I realized my mistake. lol.

Hi Joe - Thanks for the information. Interestingly enough, this same setup was put on a 7% sale as well. They must have seen your post about the other place :lol:

I'd pick that up.

It's not a stellar price, but it's very fair. You could save quite a bit if you wanted to piece something together.

But I understand buying it now. All you need is a fridge and you are set with that rig (oh and beer in the kegs). ;)
