This is why I want a keg from the big dogs, so that I can get the good beer from the smaller local microbreweries...that I really love and they don't have the 1/6 barrels for me to get.

I agree. I don't see the big deal. When you buy these, how much are you paying?

I'll be using Sankey kegs mostly and just wondering which manufacturer has a good solid product. MicroMatic has a model 7485ES that looks pretty decent.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the Perlick, I just needed a bit of a push and this first hand testimony is the best advice you can get. Now the question is, should I go with the 575 for creamer option. Also, wonder if it helps to have the shank a bit longer, maybe an inch or two? Any advice on keg...

I'm putting together a frig conversion and need advice on a faucet. The Perl SS 525 or the CM Becker X2? They both cost around the same and that's not an issue for me. German versus USA engineering. Metal versus plastic. It was told to me that a commercial setup with a glycol cooling...
