“Love the kegerator. Easy to put together, very happy the taps were already installed to the font! This was an awesome surprise and saved a lot of time. Darren was a super help and kept us informed right the way through the purchase and aftersales.”

“Great bit of kit, felt expensive versus DIY options but there was not much in it once I factored in the ability to hold three kegs (plus not actually having to do any DIY!). Some small negatives (none of which are Love Brewings problem). The CO2 canister wrench bent out of shape when I used, so that I could no longer use to tighten the canister. You'll need some good quality pliers suitable for closing the O rings on the pipework. This isn't really mentioned anywhere. Delivered with two left hand guard rails.... Minor niggles all, it's a great piece of kit, treat yourself!”

“Lack of space and a hatred of bottling (I'm sure I'm not alone in that) are my biggest problems with homebrew, and after a final demand to remove my crates and crates of bottles out of the loft, I decided to take the plunge on this. Admittedly, it's expensive and whilst a DIY approach is possible, I reasoned that the time saved would make this a worthwhile investment. As long as it lasts - but it's backed up with a 24 month guarantee. It's marketed by Bevie who are the people behind the Grainfather - I've had excellent support from them in the past so I feel confident that this product will indeed stand the test of time. Service from LoveBrewing was superb, way above the call of duty and they helped ensure a very smooth delivery. The product descriptions leave out some detail - my biggest questions were: Q) Is a regulator supplied? A: Yes, a standard two gauge regulator. (The high pressure gauge is irrelevant for liquid co2 supply, ignore it. Only the low pressure gauge is of interest). You really do need to only buy the co2 bottle and the kegs. Oh, and a crimping tool for the hose clamps. Q) How can three lines be supplied with just one regulator? A) It comes with a three way splitter so as long as you're happy to have all three kegs at the same pressure, it works. If you need different pressures then you'll need to invest in a more sophisticated regulator. Q) Can it hold 3 kegs? A) Yes (if you get the new kegs as sold at Love Brewing). I only have 2 kegs so far, but it will fit a third for sure. This probably isn't the case if you're getting reconditioned kegs from elsewhere - they tend to have rubber caps which are wide, meaning the three won't nestle together. Nb you can run 1, 2 or 3 kegs - the unused lines are just left flapping about, they have a disconnect valve which shuts the line off when unconnected. Only negative so far is the poor instruction manuals (not up the quality of other manuals from the same manufacturer such as grainfather). But despite the instructions I got there in the end. I did a fast carb of a basic IPA and within 24 hours its (kind of) drinkable. Hopefully my days of hiding endless crates of ale in a creaking loft are at an end.”
