How much for 1 barrel, including the CO2 injector?

I tend to leave the injector attached but if it makes a difference to the price then I can use my injector for both as required, I'm pretty sure we bought the same kit so shouldn't be an issue.

£20 - and that's for the keg I bought as it's got the better tap on it (the freebie from Lakelands has a shorter spout and tends to spit it out in all directions). (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/tongue.gif)

Both the keg and valve has seen 1 batch only - I've got a spare injector thing so you can have that, too.  (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/tongue.gif)

I'm guessing the 3 kegs will be seriously depleted at the party next month. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/wink.gif)

On the plus side they'll be nicely matured. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/cool.gif)
