Very easy to set up

I’m sure the product is of good quality. However, the regulator did not fit the standard CO2 bottle and the coupler only works on American beer kegs such as Bud. On reflection I should have realised since the product came from Canada. Whilst the coupler may come in use in the future if I buy an American lager rather than European lagers such as Moretti, Amstell or San Miguel, I feel like I’ve spent a lot of money for two plastic tubes.

Works great. Turned my old fridge into a kegerator on the cheap. I had to run my co2 at around 2psi to get the head down. My tap sits lower than the top of my keg, so first beer is little foamy.
Happy one

Being in lock down I needed my local micro brewery beer. Found out about 1/6 barrel availability. Punched a hole in the garage fridge and installed. Works awesome

Bought this to convert a side by side Kenmore fridge to a keg fridge.Easy install, good quality components. Took me about 2 hours to get a keg up and running!Read over some home-brew forums before your start the project to get some tips regarding install and keg sizes etc. This is definitely a measure twice, cut once project.

The first issue I had is that I didn't receive the Sanke keg coupler with the kit. I went ahead and ordered a replacement so that I wouldn't have to wait to resolve the issue with the supplier. I then proceeded to hook up the rest of my equipment so that everything would be ready when the coupler arrived. I then found that the regulator didn't work. With the pressure adjustment reduced to the minimum setting, the outlet gauge pressure continued to rise until the blow off valve relieved pressure. The pressure would continue to rise and blow off in this manner continuously.HomeBrewStuff sent me my missing tap by priority mail and I was eventually able to get the regulator to hold pressure after cycling the pressure adjustment.I did later hear a leak on the tap which I thought I fixed after removing and re-seating the tap. A few days after this my CO2 tank was empty. I refilled my tank and sprayed the tap with soap water to test for leaks. The tap was leaking from between the tap stem and tap body. I disassembled the tap and found that the stem o-rings were misshapen. It appeared that the valve was assembled without any lubrication causing the o-rings to twist and leak. I lubricated the o-rings, reassembled the tap and tested for leaks. So far I haven't found any leaks but I make sure I don't leave the CO2 on in case it begins to leak again.

I used this kit to convert an old refrig to a kegerator. I did not get all of the items promised. i had to call and the rep said that the gauges and the CO2 tank were not included in the price. i had to send the a picture that i downloaded from Amazon that showed the CO2 tank and the gauges. They sent the gauge but not the tank. Then they informed me that they would update the picture to reflect what the product actually included... wasn't too happy that i didn't receive the tank ... but all in all, still was a pretty good deal.

My old parts were leaking air somewhere and I couldn't figure it out. It had sat stale for awhile as I was tired of getting the air tank refilled.I ordered this set, replaced everything and now the beer has never tasted to fresh! The regulator looks professional, I really like that! My old sankey looks a bit aged, so nice to have a clean look there too.I have not been losing CO2 so I know my problem before was either in the tap or regulator. Glad this kit fixed my problems and made my kegerator awesome all over again!
