Hey Keg King

How long is your current sale on the kegerators on for

Mine just died an unnatural death and I'm possibly going to need one soon.

I don't think this can be fixed...

My son didn't put his cigarette butt out and the ash tray (plastic cup) full of butts caught fire....

@CEO Keg King do you guys have new models coming?

Not sure if they do but KL are releasing a ‘Series X’ that holds 4 kegs and is more insulated/efficient etc. releasing soon apparently..

Wish I had known as I only just bought a series 4 :(

What happened to this thing? Is it an old series 3?

Look Beer Baron I think its inappropriate for you to come here with that according to the site administrator. We know that you have always attacked us and most likely are someone associated with Kegland. We don't post on the Kegland thread and I ask you please do not post here. Do you think you could manage that? Really appreciate it if you could.

Gad that you asked this as we have been preparing a couple of new models which take it a bit to the next level. We are working on a new unit that will fit 6 kegs and has a proper Dixell controller, fan cooled condenser and more but I don't want to give too much away because we get haunted here by people as you can see from one poster. Yes the price will be a bit higher but the chilling rate is about 5 times faster. With the older series they dissipate heat through the walls and that is not very efficient. If you put 3 or 4 kegs in, that little compressor has to struggle a long time to push the heat out through those walls and in fact some of that heat will leak back through the walls to the interior. So whilst such a fridge can be made for very little the overall performance and efficiency will never compare to a unit which has a properly cooled condenser. We think there is room for a nice elegant 6 keg system of this type and the unit we are working on is really no louder than the old series 4. The other advantage of not having the heat pumped out through the walls is that if you drill a hole through the wall it will not kill the fridge. Overall the units are very serviceable if ever needed. So there are 6 and 8 keg units in the pipeline and we think homebrewers are going to like these when they realise they can afford something as good as these. You can stick 6 to 8 taps on them and they look great.

These 6 & 8 keg units sound interesting, but for those of us restricted (more or less) to the dimensions of the existing units: is there a new shiny in the KK pipeline?

Just trying to help a fellow home brewer out. I would be cranky if I replaced with a series 4 from you or any of your competitors only for an upgraded model to drop soon after... If @NoClue2Brew wants to hold out for your new ones or KegLands or just get a straight replace is up to them.

I am not affiliated with KegLand and would still buy off you no issues but your behaviour on here has been less than squeaky clean.. including posting on the KL thread under another account which we all found out when you doxxed yourself.

In response to that one could use a common expression like „yeah right“. BB (and I use it advisedly) please do not use the guise of helping fellow brewers to spruik Kegland so I ask you again politely to please leave it before I advise the administrator that you are up to your old tricks. You know full well that we took a long time to get back on AHB not because of something we did. Our team works hard to bring good products to home brewers and we don‘t need people like you trying to run interference here with your postings. If you want to take issue with me I don‘t have a problem with that and would be pleased to have a phone call with you but doubt that you have the courage to do that. Maybe if you are man enough then pick up the phone but if you are not then just go elsewhere please. No doubt you already have my number but in case you mislaid it then its 0419306571.
 
Hey KK could you please provide some information on the Thermenter King that WEAL has spoken about?
I can’t find anything on your website about it

We are working on producing a more detailed data sheet and hope to have something on the web soon. Basically its a shoe box size unit which uses an enhanced Peltier system coupled with pump and controller to provide either warm or cold water (glycol mix if going low) to raise or lower temperature in fermenters or kegs. The new Gen 3 Fermenter King 35 and 60 litre units have provision to add a stainless steel coil inside so that the wort can be brought to desired temperature.

These units provide about 20 degrees differential to ambient when cooling but much more when heating. Our plan is for them to sell around the $250 mark to give brewers a very affordable temp control system. They are very quiet (about the noise level of a PC) and run off 12 volts. With a new water jacket for 19 litre kegs they can be used to take a keg camping and actually chill it down running from a vehicle battery. Obviously will take power but many people run off solar now when they are in the bush.

They are not designed to replace a refrigerator but if you have ambients around 25 then you can certainly chill the beer in your vessel and drink straight from it. Great tool for brewers who do not want to have yet another fridge just for fermenting. Takes up very little space and you don‘t need to move your fermenter. This tool lets you keep your fridge free for what should be its real purpose and to provide accurate temp control. With the new Fermenters having the integrated Thermowell it means Brewers can really control the temp very well based on the reading from inside the liquid rather than through a wall.

Some small qty will be available for sale hopefully by end of this month with production qty before Christmas.
 
We're just fine tuning G3 for release and we'll be doing first come first served for the first couple hundred. Expect end of November at this point for the first units to be available. There are working units being tested and even a couple on display in our retail outlet to showcase the cleaning system and mini temp control system named the Thermentor King. We're really excited with the performance and small foot print of the these little temp control units. They're an excellent add on feature of the G3 fermenter but also have the ability to work in other applications such as chilling kegs.
Sorry if I missed something, but what's the cleaning system you refer to here?
 
The Cleaning System is a closed loop driven by a small 12v 18w 10LPM food grade pump connecting to a sprayball that fits to threading built into the underside of the fermenter lid. IMG_1871.jpg
 
Good stuff, Thais

Good stuff, thanks.

Are you planning to make the 20L King Keg available for purchase?
 
For homebrewers, the Fermenter King Junior will be available. It's the King Keg body with a clear PET like our 35L pressure fermenters. It does pressure frementation, has cornelius style posts, floating dip tube and prv in the lid.

The King Keg is more of a Keg King Pro item. Pretty sure we could make them available for retail if there proves to be a demand there.
 
There's one hand up over here . I'm rebuilding my system with a-type gear so if they're available with those couplers I'd be grabbing a few. Or do they have a proprietary coupler?
 
Hi keg king.
Just wondering if you guys have a price worked out for the 70lt guten. I rang the shop a few weeks ago and they said it should be available late November but couldn't give me a price. I am Hoping to get into all grain brewing soon but have been waiting to find out more about the 70lt before making a purchase.
Thank you

Awesome! They can be speared either A-type or D-type according to the customer's need.

Should be here in about a week and a half. They're a fun way to get three 19L kegs full with a really easy brew day.

Price sounds good I'm looking forward to starting off in all grain brewing. Is it possible to get some specs for the 70lt guten. Mainly interested in how much grain it can hold and how much power it draws. and any idea how much shipping would cost to townsville. Will I need to pre order one or will you let us know through here when they arrive. Don't want to miss out.
Thank you
 
Goodness what happened to that? The sale is still going and I think will continue.
Hey @CEO Keg King

Ive had my eye on the Series 4 Triple ultra tap kegerator.

It's been advertised at the sale price of $403 with stock expected 18/11.

When I first checked out let me put longer in the cart and price adjusted to $403. Tried again a few days ago and it won't let you add to cart... Just said available after 18/11.

Now I noticed the the banner ad for the sale price is gone.

Just wanted to check in that if in order one when they come in on 18/11 that the sake price will be honoured?

Cheers

Sorry but I am in Europe right now but I will ask my colleague to help with this.

Is there a recommended max storage time with these King Kegs, regards gas transmissibility? Thinking some might be an option for cheaper long-term storage of big beers.

We will have some tests done on this soon and will advise.
 
Hi @Keg King
I am just letting you know of a fault I had with one of your keg lids.
This keg would be a couple of years old by now but this is only my second time using it (it is a party keg).
I bought the 9.5Litre keg from a store in Maitland.
After emptying the keg I found one of the retaining clamps had fallen off the keg in the fridge and was sitting on the floor of the fridge.
It would appear that the spot welds did not penetrate deeply enough.
Cheers

Thanks for the heads up on that old keg of yours Bushbear.
We actually don't bring kegs in from the factory that created those kegs anymore.
We have been working with a completely new keg supplier and have since 2017.
This is definitely not a problem we are experiencing with our current line of kegs.
The keg and lid you have there could most likely be from the supplier our competitors still use today.
 
Any update as to when the hop spiders will be sent out for the Gutens that didn't come with one?
Thanks KK

Great info there @Keg King! The OP had nothing to do with KL yet you thought that we all should know who "apparently still uses this keg manufacturer" The keg was purchased from your company, nothing to do with KL yet you still needed to have a dig at them. This constant sniping only makes you guys look like whingers.

A better way to respond should have been, "No problem mate. Those lids were our old style we now have a new version. Have you got your original purchase receipt and we'll see if it's covered under warranty"

Yet another example of their complete lack of professionalism, no chance of doing the right thing with a refund just duck and weave and criticize the opposition, looks like they have Trump on the payroll.
