They also have the cheapest ball valves available. Check him out on ebay, and email him for better pricing on larger orders.
 
Kegconnections.com has Perlick 525SS + all the stuff in Williams Brewing's $49.90 package, for a dollar less. Only difference is Williams Brewing's package has a knurled nut just behind the faucet; Kegconnections.com's is polished chrome. Didn't matter to me one way or the other.

$29.95 - Perlick 525SS
$2.44 - Black handle
$13.49 - 4" shank (3 1/8" usable stretch)
$2.94 - Tailpiece/washer/shank nut/stainless clamp
-------
$48.82

Just ordered four sets, plus pretty much all the rest of the stuff I needed to convert my freezer. Gas and beer line was a little more than can be found elsewhere, but not having to pay a separate shipping charge more than made up the difference.
 
Might want to get rid of the KegKits.com link and add KegConnection.com instead, to the faucets/shanks/misc. section.

Also, Cole Parmer has raised prices by quite a bit since they were first added. I bought a Love TSX-10140 last night for $59.73 shipped from Drillspot.com. I looked at a bunch of places and Drillspot.com was cheapest.
 
March pump is $1 cheaper at Brewmasters Warehouse (AHB $7.99 shipping, BMW $6.99 shipping)

+1 on removing kegkits.com from the list, and on making this sticky.
Read this before you buy from Kegkits.com - Home Brew Forums

Chicompany.net for corny kegs. I like midwestsupplies.com as a good source for most items, but in particular I think they were the cheapest (including shipping) that I could find Better Bottles. Williams pre-assembled Perlick/shank/etc is a very good deal too, as someone already mentioned.

Not sure if you want to include consumables on the list or not, but brewmasterswarehouse.com is my preferred source for ingredients, and I got my barley mill there too. Hopsdirect for bulk hops.
 
This NEEDS to be a sticky...I would have saved so much money on my initial setup...Definately going to be purchasing from this site in the future...STICKY! :rockin:
 
Stainless brew pots
MoreBeer- 8g
MoreBeer-15g

These are the cheapest by almost $30 when including shipping and lids.

These are the same pots sold by Nothern Brewer and Austin Homebrew. I will match or beat any delivered price on the pots just let me know.

Same goes for March pumps if you have the same model we have (809HS) with a bracket and cord.

Does anyone know if this guy is still in business? I ordered this kit and some other things 2 wks ago, and can't even get a email answered. I'm not trying to cause trouble just want to know I didn't throw 100 bucks down a hole. Help?

I bought a wort chiller from him about 5 weeks ago. I never got a notification that it was shipped but it did arrive(and the invoice was signed with a thanks). I did email him after but never received a response. Hope it works out for you.

How long did it take ?
 
I think it was about a week and a half. I believe he is in Canada, so the shipping for that much stuff may just take longer.
 
I ordered a wort chiller from this Brewster Brown guy as well. I got a notification that my payment went thru, but nothing on shipment. I sent him an e-mail a few days later and then another one a week after that. Still nothing. Based on some prior posts here it seems that he doesn't respond to e-mails, but the stuff comes at some point. The price was right, so I'm hoping it works out. This may not be his full time job, but a min level of customer service would be nice...

I'll keep you posted on my results.
