Kegged beer tastes MUCH better than bottled from the same batch

Might be worth a go.

You have to remember Seeker people who write reviews are usually the ones who had a problem with the product they bought, not a lot of people write reviews about how good the product is.
Mine has been fine no leaks, stays primed,can't fault it, and I do believe they have a good exchange or money back policy with Amazon

I guess it wouldn't be too hard to modify the goose neck to get a sparkler to attach either. Hmm. Really love real ale but unless you drink a lot, setting up an engine is costly for how often I'd use it. This way it would be easier to setup. I'm thinking I could do a 5 or 10 litre container over a few days. If I used it a lot then I could justify a proper one

The leaking problems is why I was looking at ordering a spare seal kit with mine to keep on hand just in case

FTFY

Doesn't hurt to be prepared, in fact it is a good idea saves waiting around if something does go wrong.
mje I saw a set up where a guy had fixed his over a (roughly 10 litre cask) which is ideal you could load up the cask from primary or secondary and leave the rest in the fermenter.

Just found the mini cask set up also on an English sit a guy has fitted up two rocket pumps to work in unison and pull a quarter pint looks amazing

Call me a skeptic, but an un-randomised, un-blinded study with a sample size of 1 isn't a strong indicator that kegged > bottled
;-)

Can you elaborate stewy, un randomised? un blinded?

I'd love to know why we can't get these in Australia. They work a treat.

I can't even order them from Britain it seems customs or somebody blocks them.

You can get them from China,only better, I have one like this but I reckon a HEAVY DUTY cube will be just as good, they don't need a lot of pressure.
