Sorry, this item is currently out of stock. We are ordering weekly, so this should be available shortly.

The King Keg's 4 inch wide neck gives easy access for you to get your arm inside and thus makes it much easier to clean the barrel. The bottom fitting tap means you are forced to give your beer time to mature rather than drawing it off too early as you can if you use a barrel with an integral float system. You should be aware that you will have to place this barrel in a raised position to be able to serve the beer and care should be taken when lifting it as it will weigh close to 30-35kgs.
 
If you drink your beer too quickly, you may suffer a loss of serving pressure, but this can be corrected by adding additional CO2 via a Hambleton bard S30 cylinder or a sodastream cylinder fitted with an appropriate adapter. The Sparklets type bulbs WILL NOT work with the standard valve on this barrel unless it is used with an appropriate HB valve adapter. If you want to use this barrel with sparklet bulbs, please choose the "Pin Valve Option"

Items travelling on the Fragile service attract a surcharge per item in addition to the "normal" carriage charge for the order. They are packed considerably more "defensively" and  handled much more considerately than those travelling through the automated sorting systems. Despite this, damage sometimes occurs. In these circumstances, I am unable to claim any form of compensation or free carriage to provide replacement items. If damage occurs to your shipment, I will refund the cost of the damaged items within the shipment, but will not routinely issue a full replacement. All orders shipped using the "Fragile/Bulky/Heavy" service are only shipped on the understanding that you accept this condition of carriage.
