Hey folks.
I guess this post is mainly directed at UK members...
So, our fellow soldiers in the US are upset about the prices of Corny kegs over there... over here they cost in excess of £80 (That's over a hundred bucks, folks) unless they get a load in at one of the wholesalers and you manage to poach a few.
New cornies imported from China cost in excess of £100, and usually in the £125 range, and that's not necessarily including any dispensing kit.
Has anyone considered alternatives, like the Cypherco plastic kegs? They're "Sankey" style kegs with the whole spear arrangement.... damn sight more hassle to clean, for sure, but I don't really see the cheap plastic Welton Hurst barrels as alternatives to corny kegs.
