The plastic is thicker than my Allrounder

So if it blows it will make a bigger bang and mess, only joking

And more cleaning up then

Finally got a brew done today and have the Apollo in my Fermentation Fridge. I tested it under pressure to check that it sealed which it does though going to ferment this first brew without pressure to see how it goes .
The plastic is thicker than my Allrounder and it seems well made it fits my fridge easier than the Allrounder no having to put it at funny angles to get it in.

Good to know that they fit easier than an all rounder in an undercounted fridge, I would have assumed the opposite

Anyone know anymore on this regarding when this will happen i.e. KK products will hit the shelves be available to purchase?

 

[Nashbrew]

I'm beginning to look at alternatives to KK products, there lack of openness on the subject maybe a clue to there customer service in the UK as well.
Time to move on I think.

They are there, just have to wait and see on the distribution. Out of KK's hands now.

No actual evidence of this though. Just your source saying it. Not sure why they would sit on stock and not get it advertised

All the more reason to contact Bevie, I don't see the reasoning of complaining about the party which sent the goods.

Hi Dave

I am sorry I do not have any updates for you at the moment, other than if we stock the Apollo range its looking more like end of this year or early 2023 I am sorry to say.
We're having difficulty arranging shipping due to freight increases. We want to bring these products to the market but it needs to be good value for the customer, so I don't have any solid answers for you at this stage.

But I would ensure you have let your local homebrew store know you want these so they can be ready to order them in as soon as they're available to them.


Kind regards
Kelsey - Customer Experience Manager - Bevie

Still does not tell you where the Air freight ended up?

I am happy with my Apollo only issue maybe spares considering the way this distribution is going .
At least with kegland you can buy spares from Aliexpress

KK do not even have a decent range of spares available in Australia, so there is not much hope in this country. The snub nose fermenters I bought only a few months ago are now shown as obsolete on their site, and Brew2Bottle who I bought them from were utterly useless at sorting out a manufacturing fault. They did not reply to my original complaint and the new owner, despite assurances on this site, has done nothing.

I like the KK fermenters - they have many advantages over the Kegland Fermzillas, but because of this lack of after sales service I am unlikely to buy anything else from them.

The new owner was allowed a one-off free post to let us know things were going in the right direction he can no longer post as a normal member as that is against the forum rules and would be unfair to all the other business owners who pay to sponsor the forum.

He sent me a PM through the site to which I replied.

He posted here a while ago when he took over the business thanks for letting us know he is messaging members.

Any updates on availability of Apollos in the UK?

 

[timhooper55]

I had dialogue with Will from KK this week and he indicated their products are now in stock at Bevie. When they will be released for sale, heavens knows!

It's very strange that Bevie seem to want to keep it to themselves
