Hi guys,
I've been talking and talking (with GMK) about ordering my kegging equipment from the states (either from morebeer or stpats) I have no pref.
What I'm thinking of doing is getting the more expensive / hard to source stuff from the US, and then completing the system from local stores (ie. for the beer / gas line etc).
I'll list what I'm thinking of getting from the states below, (with pricing), I'm interested in peoples opinions as to whether I should source more, or less from the states, or if I've missed something. I'm also really confused about duty that might be payable on top of everything else.
Q's 1) Should I go ahead and order from US or stay local (ie. will duty punish me)
2) How should I ship to minimise duty / freight / tax (don't mind waiting a month or two)
3) Should I add anything else?
4) if sea freight is based on space only, should i order a mash tun to put all the bits in
?
Morebeer part numbers
1 x D1060 $54.95 -CO2 Dual guage reg
2 x D1255S $79.90 -SS Faucet/Knob/Shank
2 x D1249 $2.95 -Shank Collar - Staniless (to tidy up the hole)
1 x D1870 $11 -In-Line Check/Ball Valve (for gassing outside the fridge)
2 x KEG460 $5.95-Body Connect -GasIn (I assume this is what connects gas to keg
2 x KEG470 $5.95-Body Connect -Bev.Out
If it won't make duty a problem, I'm happy to add other peoples stuff onto my order to share freight/help out/avoid minimum orders.
I'm seriously thinking about justing walking into a shop and buying the lot coz it might be easier .....
