I only have used it with beer Heiniken, I think can only be used with this brand, please consult the Manual beertender

I'm not sure if miller makes a draught keg, however any draught keg could work. The Manuel says new castle Heineken lite and possibly Guinness. As long as it fits correctly and it is a 5 liter keg it should work.

No, only Heineken beer brands. The kegs I've seen are Heineken, Heineken Light and Newcastle.

you can use any brand as long as the mixture is correct. check the specifications on the premixed from amazon and just make sure the percentage of gas and oil is the same.

Yes, the kit I purchased came with two 5 gallon kegs. They took a bit of cleaning but they work fine.

I know it works with millers but any other ones i don't know. You may need to call horbart sorry. This gun works great

My keg was manufactured by AEB - Italian, if I'm not mistaken. Good quality though. ...good deal for the price point.

make sure it fits your tap as it does not fit mine. seems like beer gun would be better, less foam and more even fill.

Short answer : Yes. More involved answer : This tap comes with a threaded connection which can screw directly onto most homebrew kegs, however chances are that the keg has either ball or pin lock quick connects on it. You'll need to know which type, and then appropriate connectors can be purchased. If this tap is connected to a commercial keg (most likely a Sankey tap) you'll need to purchase the quick connector for that type of tap.

Yes this faucet should fit. All faucets in the US use standard fittings. Where you will encounter differences is in how the beer line connects to your keg (taps). If using store bought kegs your brand new setup should be fine, if using "corny" kegs you will have to change fittings on keg end. As a side note to prevent beer foaming look at using 10' of beer line. Check out www.homebrewtalk.com for some additional kegging advice. Have fun and enjoy.

The instructions included with this unit imply that any 5L gravity or pressurized keg will work. The instruction manual states the following : "This unit will cool and dispense beer using 5L gravity kegs and pressurized kegs." The manual then states " There are two types of 5 litre kegs available which can be used in this cooler. The first type is pressurized and the beer is dispensed through the upper lid mechanism. Only pressurized beer kegs can be dispensed through the top. Install the dispensing tube supplied with the pressurized keg into the center top of the keg. DO NOT install the small plastic paddle that comes with the pressurized keg. Gently lower the keg into the cooler taking care to line up the dispensing tube with the cooler's spout. The SECOND type of 5L keg is NON pressurized (gravity dispense), and utilizes the small clear door on the side of the cooler. Line up the spigot on the side of the can, pull through the small door opening and dispense per the instructions on the keg.

It does not. I asked this question before my purchase and was mislead. You need to purchase the kit so it will work with all types of kegs.

Every state is different but in Wisconsin I just called a couple beer/liquor stores until I found some that carry it. I just asked for heiniken or Newcastle draught keg or mini keg.

I have purchased the BeerTender here in the states and have also used it in Amsterdam. I can tell you that the other 5 Liter kegs in stores such as Warsteiner and others are not compatible with the BeerTender. Only pressurized 5l and 4 l kegs will work with this unit. I've been researching this all over the states and speaking with companies in Europe. The beers that John Hillestad mentioned are all pressurized and work in this unit, but only the Heineken and Heineken Light are available in the states so far. The others can be bought online and shipped to the states but they are 4 liter kegs not 5, and cost about $30 (20 euro) per keg plus an enormous amount to ship them here. I hope this info helps. I'm trying really hard to find more variety here in North America for this, I've even spoken with Heineken USA and Krups directly. They all say the other beers are coming but just not hear yet. Currently I have an order in place with a reseller in Holland for Amstel Bock and Amstel. It's crazy expensive. The Murphy's Irish Red should be excellent on this machine. Thanks. Steve

Hey Mark, I changed out my tap tower for a dual perlick set up. I just asked my friend. He has the same kegerator and he says he has a Sam Adams Seasonal tap on it. So I am thinking the answer is yes.
