Bevie and Keg King Distributing Partnership.

[gavp1979]

you won't regret it they are superb, i have 2 i ferment at 5psi then oxygen free transfer to corny keg

Just make sure that you don't accidentally put the spunding valve on your floating dip tube and end up with 20l of your Christmas stout all over the floor (Like I did last week)

 

[Rodcx500z]

Already done it

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.

But you can by the Anvil branded kit from Brew UK? Thats very expensive.

I suspect that will be significantly more than the actual KK stuff retails for - Brew UKs gear has travelled from Australia, to the US and then to the UK

I presumed they would ship it direct from China.

KK products are manufactured in Australia

I presumed they would ship it direct from China.

as far as I am aware

As I said back in June, Maybe the delays are deliberate so as to give Brew2bottle a chance to get rid of there are existing stock of the older range !

An update on my Apollo and Sundy Valve . The Apollo tank is better quality than the KL equivalent but the not so sure about the rest, the connectors are metal so metal on Plastic is never a good idea already had issues with it not sealing properly the floating dip tube kinked when doing a pressure transfer at a low psi . Spundy valve failed to release pressure despite having a 10 blue prv inserted luckily the 35 red prv vented .So overall not a get start to using KK Apollo and Spundy .

Thanks for feedback , I agree metal on plastic not a good idea so I'd use a little PTFE tape on the threads. I would thoroughly recommend kegland Blow tie spunding valve, I found it very reliable and very easy to clean !

I just this update from Bevie this morning regarding availability.
Dec 9, 2022, 12:58 GMT

Hi Dave, just coming back with an update, we are now selling KegKing in Europe, but not quite in the UK just yet. That's our next stop and looking like around February 2023.
I believe we will have the following in the Apollo range:
30L Unitank Pressure Fermenter
60L Unitank Pressure Fermenter
30L Snub Nose Pressure Fermenter

Thanks
Kelsey - Customer Experience Manager - Bevie

Around February 2023? Plenty of scope there. Based on track record, they should have left it at around 2023.

I was going to get an Apollo for my birthday in July. Ended up with a Fermzilla instead

 

[Mayor of Simpleton]

I had been waiting for a stainless Apollo. I gave up and got a Fermzilla all rounder.

 

[LeeH]

Don’t think they are going to make a dent into the Firmzilla’s market share with that tbh.

 

[Rodcx500z]

i have 2 all rounders and love em, so easy to use and clean

 

[Mayor of Simpleton]

Agreed. Very happy with mine.

Assuming no updates on this from anyone. Seems quite a poor execution of distribution, no ides why or whose fault, but seems to me continuing with Brew2Bottle would've been preferable to Keg King at this point.

I Have my suspicions that the Apollo fermenter range will be on brew2bottle in the near future !
They are now on their website but listed as out of stock !
