You will find plenty of mention of Intertap faucets on the Keg King website. This trademark is registered in Australia and belongs to us. Morebeer and Williams get their stuff from the people in China who copied our name and run it as www.kegking.cn and have used this for some years to sell stuff with our names and trademarks on there.
You are right there is plenty of enthusiasm from home brewers and for our party we would be delighted to be able to do more for them. Hardly a day goes by when we don’t get enquiries about our high quality PET fermenters and more. However until we can find US businesses who are willing to take on the distribution its a bit hard especially in the current situation. From what we see home brewers in the US are paying quite high prices for often rather poor quality goods. The companies who dominate your home brewing market are doing well for themselves so they don’t feel the need to change or add anything new. This might change as the trade war between the US and China keeps ramping up. We would love to hear from brewers in the US who might know of more companies willing to offer our products. Maybe someone out there could start a home brewers co-op to do bulk buys of our gear and we would certainly help with that. In the meantime the Beverage People in California have started to offer some of our products and we will support them strongly wherever we can.
Beats me, I've never bought a mill from Morebeer but I have purchased several other products. Pumps, chillers, fittings, etc. I've had to return a few items over the years and they never gave me any grief. So, tell Morebeer to stick it where the sun don't shine.
Thats where your mistaken, They are ALL THE SAME CHINESE MILL keg king just resold that same chinese mill along with everyone else! they all order them from the same supplier in china with custom etching on the side now. (I used to have the link to the actual supplier doing this but cant find it) The issue here is due to a split in the company you have one part that changed to kegland and the other side that wont honor any of (thier genuine products) that were sold to the US market previously by the people that left leg king and formed kegland. Basically you are getting the short end of the stick as far as support because of a former dispute at keg king and the results. im not sure where kegking.cn fits into all this but I know that it likely has something to do with the same former kegking.au employees that left and now work for kegland if in fact that story which was told by Will in the intertap thread is correct, Which is why I say there more to this whole thing than whats been shared in this thread.
Now that sounds more like it.
True, I stand corrected and apologize. But The ceo of keg king is being misleading in stating your product is an inferior knock off when in reality it likely came from the same pile that was made for distribution to an Australian keg king customer but instead found its way to you possibly when keg king stopped distributing them itself and left the manufacturer with extras already branded, who knows. these could have gotten slipped in with newer otherwise branded stock they now sell.
This is a joke right?
This is a joke right?
I don’t think I misled anyone. The stuff we sell we stand behind. When others sell it by putting our name on there without our knowledge and permission then its nothing to do with us. We do our own QC before our name goes on. If other people copy our logo and name then that is skullduggery and the people selling it know it is not a Keg King product. That makes it counterfeit in my book and we cannot be blamed for it not working or breaking. No past employee was ever granted any right to break the law by filing such paperwork and doing that is breaking Australian law.
About 30% of our products (especially our very popular PET Fermenters) are in fact manufactured in Australia. Those we make in China are subject to our QC.
Well that is a load of cock and bull. We actually have our own factory which makes over 30% of what we sell. We also have a pretty serious design centre staffed by some good engineers who love to brew. We still manufacture the Intertap and own the patent manufacturing rights to its design. Our later Ultra Tap which is a vast improvement on the Intertap is now sold exclusively by MicroMatic in the USA. Happy to provide you proof so that you can stop making all this rubbish up.
Have these x employees been prosecuted/sued?
so your saying your new mill is not the chinese made mill I linked above? I have purchased multiple keg king products on aliexpress including the intertap faucets and a beergun and both came in kegking.au packaging the beergun even came with a full direction booklet. I Do not believe for a second these were fake copies like your intentionally misleading people to believe. You want people to believe the manufacturers go through the added headache of having different grades or designed parts for these mills or product when in fact the odds are much more likely they are all assembled from the same bins of parts short of whether stainless or hardened rollers are selected and the laser etching and packaging. Sorry I just dont buy it. Now there may be factory second no name stuff being sold out there sure. But I just dont buy that the mills you had purchased were superior than all the other distributors buying them with thier own branding here.
This is a very good question.. and one area where I bet things are a bit more cloudy than stated.. my guess is at least one of these x employees had some sort of stake in the original company and they distributed products legally whether ethically and properly through the company channels or not. Otherwise I think you would not see kegland in operation right now.
In this case the knock offs are superior in engineering than the monster mills they copied just as the monster mills are superior to the barley crushers they copied with better rollers. The comparable monster mills use cheap inexpensive bronze bushings and only use real bearings like the "clones do" in thier upgraded models selling for multiple times the price.
This was done via the Chinese business called AMCO Technologies which is a PO Box in Hong Kong. They were using our letterhead and even our business number with invoices coming out of Hong Kong and China. The real Keg King in Australia only found this was being done after October 2017. American businesses were advised that they were not dealing with us but these setups in Hong Kong and China that were using our names and more without our permission or agreement. Keg King has never sold anything through Ali Baba or any other on-line business than its own.
No they did not do this legally. They simply took our names etc to China. We were shocked to find a so called “Distribution Centre“ in Shanghai bearing our Keg King name.
