BKT Corny starter kit

[Cheyne_brewer]

I've finally decided to take the plunge and buy a Corny setup. For now this will be a Sodastream setup from BKT. As the Intertaps are out of stock it's the "deluxe party tap". Probably buy a post-mounted tap from AliExpress when my wallet has recovered from the shock. Having had one party tap (party crap more like) which died on first use has anyone had one of these kits & was it satisfactory? Initially looking at kegging the odd Neipa or American IPA. Also, is it worth spending the extra on a new key or go for a recon?

I bought their 2 keg kegerator kit a couple of months back. I tried the Sodastream cylinders initially, but fiund that one cylinder barely lasted a single keg of beer. Have now invested in a 3.1kg cylinder and that is much better. Keep a sodastream cylinder and the adapter for emergencies (i.e. when the big cylinder runs out and you've got a thirst on).

BKT are excellent

I suggest that you email Jonny directly as their web site isn't always up to date

I have done this a couple of times, he is very helpful and comes up with the goods

Have never had a party tap but have not heard good things about them

If you are buying your keg from BKT their recon ones are very good quality - so no need to go for a new one. I think he does 3 grades of recon kegs

BKT are excellent. I’d be happy buying a recon keg from there.

Sodastream bottles won’t go far for carbonating beer, only dispensing it. I’ve not had any problems with party taps myself.

I have recently ordered the starter kit and some recon kegs from Bkt, can't fault them for swift service at an exceptionally busy time.

I bought the 2 corny kegerator kit from BKT a few weeks back. Opted for recon kegs , quality was great and customer service spot on .

 

[Paul Roberts]

I bought two recon 9 litre kegs and a pluto gun tap from them. Excellent quality. Currently using soda stream to carb and serve and all going well. Bkt were great.

Glad I waited to order - the kit I wanted with 19L grade keg & flow control tap, this was out of stock pre Xmas :) Loving the free delivery too. My Two Hearted IPA clone will not be sleeping in plastic.

Now I just have to see if they start breeding...

 

[Rodcx500z]

They will and quickly

 

[Cheyne_brewer]

They will and quickly

Bah... that means I'll have to get brewing

 

[Cheyne_brewer]

Well my Corny journey has started. Everything hooked up with no issues, cleaned, sanitised and tested. Transferred my Bells 2 Hearted IPA under gravity from my Fermzilla using the collection pot-mounted post. Took it up to around 35psi and poured a cheeky test half.

That’s it. No more lager in bottles. No more flat beers. I’m a convert. My PBs will still get used for my ales but anything hoppy or needing high carb levels in in one of these tins!

I reckon I’ll be ordering one a month from BKT now

 

[chillipickle]

Closed transfers, on tap!!! no looking back now :)

 

[Cheyne_brewer]

Bah! They are breeding already. Just ordered another two cornys from BKT. No I have to get some brewing done. O! woe is me Flow control tap ordered from AliExpress. Let's see how many brews I get through before the tap arrives!

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

I wish mine would breed, it’d save me having to keep buying them. I’ve just ordered another two from BKT too. That’ll be eight! I’ve blamed the Mrs. She has had a Strawberry and Lime Cider taking up one of my kegs since last Summer and I had to order another two else I’d have to pay postage ordering just one

 

[Cheyne_brewer]

Yep, when I explained it was free postage for two extra funds were released

Where you get the drip tray?

I've also bought all my kegging gear from BKT . Very good quality used kegs and brilliant customer service.

got a single keg kit from BKT for my birthday last weekend. Bought a 2line manifold (with integral stopcheck valve) from them the same day I received. Great quality kit and will be looking to add a second keg pretty soon I think!

 

[JFB]

See a lot of you are buying the recon kegs.
Sadly I can't fit two in my fridge.. thinking about a third 10l though
