I see the taps have doubled in price compared to Aus.

Blichmann 7.9 Gallon Fermenter King Chubby inc Compact Spundy Valve
That price cannot be right.

The Spundy Valve is on preorder at £14.99 make take a punt on it lol as looks like there won't be any KK products for Xmas .

Spundy valve and Ultra Twist Taps now available from Malt Miller so that must be the Air Freight supplies being distributed by Bevie

I am not convinced that these KK taps are superior to the equivalent KL Nukataps to an extent that justifies the considerable difference in price. Most of the design features they have are shared by Nukataps, and I wonder if claims of their superiority are driven by pro-KK bias with a touch of wishful thinking.

Buy one of each and do a comparison. The advantage of the twist tap is it is operational with one hand. The only thing I found with the twist tap and presume it is same with the Nukatap is the return spring only works with a long shank. I reworked my spring to work on a short shank.

There is still the container, maybe they are holding that for a Christmas sale.

The return springs on both types of Nukatap work well with a short shank without modification.

I thought Bevie was a distributor ! Not a storage provider ?

Exactly
Seems that KK like the hike in profit over here.

Maybe they sold me the wrong spring, I just shortened it.

The webinar took place over a month ago between Bevie and the retailers, got to be some reason why they haven't been released.

Any updates on availability of Apollos in the UK?

I asked that question of Bevie this week and was told early 2023.
I've decided to go Kegland All Rounder now.

I think KK need to change the name of the Apollo. NASAs Apollo program was quicker to put a man on the moon than to make these available in the UK.

I bought the KK spundy Valve from brewuk it arrived this week. Great bit of kit I have started to use it with the 10psi PRV I will probably buy another. Just a pity no other KK kit is here in the UK yet, Bevie also told me early 2023.
I have the Apollo Fermenter which is great too but not sure I will purchase anymore KK kit as spares may be an issue for the foreseeable future.

Just for clarity, they are more expensive than the equipment KL and the distributor sounds like an *****.

What’s the attraction?

We actually don't know the prices yet.
The Apollo I have is certainly better quality than my Allrounder. Though if I was to buy a new fermenter it will be a KL Fermzilla Gen 3 purely on spares and availability of KL.
