I ordered an Apollo from Ikegger last night. I am happy with my Chubby and in desperate need of a new fermenter after accidentally cleaning my Allrounder with hot water (note to self, check the tap before cleaning). Time will tell if it was the right choice, though Ikegger don't have the new Spundy Valve as yet which I also wanted.
When it arrives, I will update my thoughts on here.

Me too. Just ordered it now. I already have the spunding valve from the junior king. Looking forward to giving it its first run. Not going to bother with pressure ferments at this stage though. It’s the closed transfer I’m after and it’s great this has got a thermo wall, a dry hop port and you can get your hand in to clean.

BrewUK have the Spundy valve, but it is horrendously expensive!

Thats strange they also have Chubby under the Anvil/Blichman name due in at the end of Sept for £199 including the Spundy Valve .
Spundy Valve out of stock £35.99

Talk about profiteering, the Spundy price on the KK site is $15.95 Aus dollars (£9.36) and BrewUk are charging £35.99, that’s a big rip off!

They are obviously not buying them through Bevie which is strange too .

Blichmann are buying in KegKing equipment and rebranding it, you will see it launched over the next few months. It was on display out at HomebrewCON Pittsburgh back in June.

 

[user 4749]

If thats the prices we can expect not sure I will be buying anymore Keg King products .

 

[Nashbrew]

Looks like Blichmann have branded the KK stuff under the Anvil brand: Keg King

I thought Anvil already existed in the US market? Are you saying it looks like they are going to rebadge KK stuff as Anvil for the European market?

It does. No they are not rebranding for the European market, for the US market. I guess that any Blichmann retailer can buy the rebranded products for sale anywhere they choose, but this isn't a route I would take.

Got ya. Would've helped if I had clicked the link. So Blichmann are expanding their range by rebranding KK stuff.

Apollo is in the UK in Bevies warehouse. I inquired about it today. Keep your eyes out for these. They are/will be compatible with a few different combinations, including a fitting for a bicycle pump instead of the picnic pump. Or even go for an electric air pump, save on gas. Fill the bag with your brew and use the air pressure to force it out.

They should have been there a while ago I believe they were airfreight. I will find out but pretty sure they were air freighted as all the smaller items.

No mention of Keg king products on the Bevie website.

 

[Nashbrew]

You would have thought Keg King themselves would have commented by now.
Is only to there advantage if the real situation with there products in the UK is out there.

 

[user 4749]

Must admitted I will be a bit annoyed if the Keg King products are in the UK. I purchased the Apollo from Ikegger only because the information available from Bevie looked like it could be sometime before they were here.

I sometimes wonder if speculation that items are here or imminent, are just a ploy to reduce sales of the main competion products (Kegland)

They have. Albeit through an alias.
