Is there an option to substitute used/refurbed corny-kegs for new ones or one of the other types offered on Amazon by Kegco?

With this kit you get two used kegs that are preasure tested, the kit comes with , one 5lb co2 bottle,2 kegs,one regulator with multi outs ,two picknic lines with faucets,two inlet and two outlet connectors for the kegs.....nice system I really enjoy mine. I'm not sure if there is a kit with brand new kegs if there is the pricee will probably be a lot higher.... I would think.

You can piece mail it together from Kegco's store obviously but the new kegs run at least twice as much as refurb. Personally I couldn't justify the added expense for new kegs over refurb, the oldies work exactly the same and they are hidden inside the kegorator where only you see them anyway. Happy brewing.

Go with the used corny keg. Most of the used ones sold are cleaned and pressure tested before they ship. Plus, the used kegs are half the cost of a new one.

in the uk we have a machine called carlsberg draughtmaster and basically looks the same but nearly freezes the beer it tastes so nice. We can buy carlsberg export and carlsberg kegs. They are plastic and also recycable. Maybe you could buy one from ebay and buy kegs online. We also have hieneken kegs over in the uk but have a tap system on the keg so we dont need a machine.

Thanks! It probably is a design flaw, then.I've attempted to contact Krups and just received a generic reply to ship it to a service center. Too much of a hassle to do that or try to return it for another (not even sure where my receipt is at this point).It's more of a nuisance, not knowing that the thing is almost empty--especially when entertaining guests! Otherwise, it's great! Guess we'll just have to be sure to have a spare keg on hand at all times :)

It came with at least one. You need a new connection tube for every keg tapped. I would buy extra.

You have to buy these as a separate purchase. They don't last long, maybe a keg or so. You should buy several at a time.

You may purchase a re-fillable disc w/barcode or use an old disc and refill with your own coffee, replacing the lid with foil. http://www.my-cap.com/my-cap-products-for-tassimo-brewers/reusable-t-disc-for-tassimo-brewers-detail.htmlGenerally, these options do not go well.

I don't know exactly where to get a replacement. The unit is sold by several different stores under several different brand names. The one I have is branded Megahome and is model MH943T. It came from Nutriteam, Inc. (fulfillment by Amazon), so I'd start with them. Google says they are in Ripton, Vermont and their support phone is 1-800-785-9791. They have a good BBB rating. If that doesn't work, try Google or Bing on just that model number and see what turns up. Good luck. As to the second part of your question, as I understand it the glass insert was added after the unit had been being sold for quite a while because some people are very freakish about plastics and worried about contamination of their freshly purified water were it to come into contact with something plastic. Same reason the carafe is glass. So, no, it's not needed for the operation of the distiller. You still want to use the charcoal filter medium though, because there are some chemicals in some locale's tap water that boil off at temperatures lower than water and thus make it through the distillation process. Fluorine (not Fluoride) is one, if I remember correctly.

The box I received had two same size kegs. No tapping gear is needed and they can be used right away. These are not normal sized beer kegs so don't expect you're going to use them in that fashion. They are like a keg of beer you might find in your local grocery store.

The connection only comes setup for a Sanke connection. However, your beer shop will have the know how to inexpensively convert the connects to fit your system. I use 2 5 gallon ball lock corny kegs and the system works great.

You would need the accessory kit for any non-pressurized keg. I am even going one step further and getting nalgene plastic growlers from my favorite local brewer and directly tapping them. I had to engineer a rubber stopper with a hole in the middle that would fit the growler though. You might be able to buy something like that even. The reason: The growler is dishwasher safe and much easier to clean than those damn mini kegs.

We got ours on Amazon, but they do not seem to sell them any more. You can go to the Fizz Giz site and order directly from them:http://www.fizzgiz.com/fizzGiz_order_form.htm. We've found them to do a great job of carbonation.

The kegs I received where both the same size and came in a box. My use for them was for a work potluck for a tail gate party(since we couldn't use a real keg). No special equipment required to access root beer. We stuck them in a bowl of ice to stay cold.

it's really a month to be on the safe side. 2 weeks sitting in the keg, 10 days sitting in the bottles then a few days in the fridge. It's good...but since mr beer was bought out by "Coopers", the prices went way up on refills...so not sure it's worth it anymore.

If I remember correctly, there may be an order form for the charcoal filters in the box when you get the distiller. I remember mentally kicking myself for accidentally throwing it out when I threw out all of the packing materials. Nutriteam, Inc. is the company that ships the distiller (the machine itself is made in Taiwan). If you go to the Nutriteam website, they should have replacement filters available for sale. Here's the site: http://www.nutriteam.com/12-pack-charcoal-filters-for-megahome-distiller.html I hope this helps.

You might try a brewing supply store. I know the distributor we use for this product does not offer that as an option for purchase. Bill Wright Treyco

I did not but I've only had two heinikken kegs. I mostly use my own with the co2 attachment.
