just seen on you tube a mini keg dispenser which uses 5 litre mini kegs and it looks fantastic and like a micro wave. I need one now. Its called the avanti mini pub, but they only seen to sell then in the states, does any one no were i can get one or some thing similar as i use 5 litre keg s to store some of my brews.

They're quite big on the continent too. Saw 3 different brands in the Auchun supermarket on Boulogne - about 140 Euros. But I'm not sure if they'll work with any old minikeg. I saw the usual eurofizz available in 5 litre kegs on the same shelf.

(SWMBO said no, by the way.. I would have liked to try it out)

Here's a link (in French):

I want one. It would fit very nicely in my Winnebago (I wish!)

If you look at the Auchun link above it looks the same as the Climaselec DB66 model which is made by Minea.

Word on one of the French craft beer forums is they're good but Heineken keep changing their kegs (futs in French) but most other brands including some interesting non-swill brewers all fit and that the Brewferm mini-kegs do work.

That's the item I was looking for, I'm sure they sold it in Argos...

The Avanti in the States is definitely the Climaselec DB66 available from Auchun in Calais, why it's not available in the UK I have no idea.

143 Euros - about Â£120

Eurotunnel tickets, here I come.

i like the Phillips one but expensive. The draught master does not have the option for gas and are still but easy to get hold of.

Kronenburg... ugh... that stuff must come pretty close to the blandest beer on the planet, although there's competition from the likes of Amstel, and Heineken...

this looks quite good too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwVANzSc ... re=related and more simpler, just have to put it in the fridge
