How much for 1 barrel, including the CO2 injector?

What the valve and injector thingy or just the valve ?

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).

Both the keg and valve has seen 1 batch only - I've got a spare injector thing so you can have that, too.

I'm happy to help out with your customer evaluation of these kits..

Roadkill · « **Reply #22 on:** February 27, 2014, 12:38:51 pm »

I'm guessing the 3 kegs will be seriously depleted at the party next month.

On the plus side they'll be nicely matured.
