BeerBox, Mini Keg or different solution?

[melhaer]

Hello,

What do you think is a better solution for kegging: BeerBox or MiniKeg?

The problem is that I do not have enough space for a kegerator, so I am searching for a solution similar to mini kegs where you have options for 2, 4, 5 liters that you can easily cool in the fridge.

And the BeerBox is also available in the US only for now and will need to pay some extra custom taxes.

There is also an option for cornelius 19 liters keg...but it will be harder to cool it, that's why I am searching for "mini" solutions...like to buy the MiniKeg system and 4-5 additional 2-4-5 liters kegs...it will increase the price, but as I can see there isn't e cheap solution if you compare it to reusable bottles...

I’ve never heard of the Beerbox before but that looks quite nifty. Might look into them when they get a UK release.

I had been using 5L easykegs (different from the minikegs you linked) but a few incidents have put me off them (mainly gushers due to them being difficult to clean and difficult to see how worn the inner lining is).

@MickDundee if this is the easykegs they are really much cheaper, but I am looking for something that will stay forever:) I am just new the whole brewing religion so a lot of new things, ideas to learn...and the kegging seems to be complicated with a lot of different options, solutions, taps etc...

It works well.

I've just drank my first keg - it was better than same brew in a pressure barrel. One 16g cartride dispensed two 'loads' although the first was just water. It's a really nice piece of kit. I also bought a plain keg with a pressure relief cap.
