Alrighty, A bit of KL criticism.
TL;DR: Too much stuff out of stock or misleading on the site in terms of availability. Gets really frustrating when you have a cart full of stuff and the one thing you need to complete the whole package says its in stock on one page but in reality is out of stock on the main product page.
I know this has been mentioned before but the stock notices and levels on the site are killing me. I can see that your using Magento to run the site. Ive used before extensively... Its not that hard to deal with stock levels, just keep it updated.. its an out of the box feature.
Here is my thought train...
1) Going away for New Years and taking two kegs - Got taps, Co2, tube and reg.. Just need something to easily assemble and disassemble lines for liquid + co2.
2) Kegland should be able to help me out.. Best prices in town + some nice new products coming through. Head to site.
3) Will buy some dedicated gas disconnects with MFL thread. - This looks perfect...

WELL SHIT! I can add to cart but says in stock 28 Dec 2018.. Do i risk it?? Well which one is it????!!!!! I scrap that as i can use some from my keg fridge in the mean time.
4) Ive heard good things about these Duotight fittings (8mm required)... Need some tee pieces, check valves, MFL to push fit (for my now scrapped disconnect) etc.
5) Head over to the Duotight category.
- Buy checkvalve? Nup, out of stock. Dam
- Tee piece? Yes, woohoo! Added to cart.
- MFL to push fit? Nup, out of stock. Dam
- A Duotight ball value might be handy.. Nup, out of stock. Dam
6) Get really annoyed at this point, head over to KEG KING!!! Remember that their push fits absolutely suck and so do Keg King so scrap that idea pretty quick.
7) No idea what to do, i can get stainless barbed tees etc.. but my whole point of this was to not be chopping up line and reconnecting to barbs everytime i take kegs to an event.
8) Scrap the cart order and write a rant on AHB.
9) Maybe John Guest fittings from Craft Brewer? I dunno, they any better than the keg king ones!
Sorry for winging... but how is like 80% (probably exaggerating) of stuff on the site out of stock? Or things say In Stock in the nice green text on the catalogue page but then click in to the product to buy and your hit the old switcheroo out of stock message!!!!... How much is a duotight fitting cost to buy? like 10 cents..Buy 5000 of those fuckers if your selling so many! (I know.. Might not be feasible, not trying to tell you how to run your business.. just very frustrating)
Apart from that... Nice to see some good innovation on products... Just wish we could buy them.
