Ha, yes that too. Amazon isn't necessarily squeaky clean in itself. It could also be more pro-active in spotting/stopping these frauds, so possibly this may help motivation to do so. But between the almost wilful suspension of disbelief by some plus the more calculating buyers knowing the loss...

Or they've made off with Amazon's money. Which will likely be paid for in the long run by innocent Amazon customers.

Yes, I wonder which. Though it doesn't seem to be aimed at getting buyer's details so hopefully there won't be posts of financial distress. How keen Amazon is to reimburse will be interesting to hear of. Amazon didn't previously permit paypal to be used via their system, is it now allowed?

It seems not just the mill that is 'unexpectedly out of stock'. The seller's storefront, that was renamed to Marlon Green and which a week ago had over twenty-thousand items all at �£9.99... is now completely empty. Seems unlikely that every item would have sold out and nothing else be...

Apparently the £9.99 includes postage, so this mill would have to be virtually free were it to be real. About the only way I can think of is if the seller has genuinely made some almighty cock up and still hasn't noticed.

It may be worth a look at this and this, both of which look like the images used in this seller's mill listings. TBH thats cheaper than I'd have imagined, they seem unlikely to be the highest quality, but even so.. To undercut Aliexpress by over 75% seems fantastic - in almost the proper meaning...

The seller themselves is described as 'just launched, no feedback yet'. Presumably the reviews mentioned are for the items themselves, as sold by other sellers. Either way, its worth being wary of any follow up communications that ask for additional payment or confirmation of details. Currently...

I'll be 'deeply' surprised if this isn't a scam; it has almost all the hallmarks at once. But if the item is what people expect, and if no-one has been mislead into paying outside Amazon, and if Amazon do actually honour the guarantees people are highlighting then ultimately the financial...

It looks like a photo of a 'much' more expensive grain mill so seems suspicious. Unless I have the wrong seller, they have no feedback and have listed 22,000 items all for sale at £9.99 irrespective of actual value... I hope no-one has followed any links the seller sent them to pay - even if...

Some people that I know have their lupulin powder delayed due to supplier delays, which may also be behind the sudden 'out of stock' notice. As I understand it, GEB may include expected stock as well as actual/current stock in their website stock notifications, which is vulnerable to...

I just tried to send a PM but it seemed to vanish... In case it didn't go: I may have a tall larder brew fridge for sale soon - in Derby - if you're interested. Cheers Kev

Thanks Vossy, thats most useful. It does seem to confirm that I'm over-egging it a bit then. Hmm, not sure what to do really. I've got the red silicone O-rings which have helped, and I've also tried in the past to bend/knock the necks of the cornies back true which has generally improved...

Kev, nearly but not quite - the check valve is 6" before the beer engine. I guess when it opens (as I pull the engine's handle) then the pressure would pass through though, so maybe its not the complete answer I'd imagined... Buster thanks. Thats what I was half expecting and worried about...

I won an angram beer engine some time ago on ebay, and have been experimenting - I've used them before but its the first time I've actually tried to set one up myself. My setup is: Corny@13c/9psi ; several-meters-of-3/8-python-with-cold-recirc ; check-valve ; 6-inches-of-3/8-line ; beer-engine...

That sounds very promising, Dennis, many thanks :-) Cheers Kev

Currently I use dalex taps on the end of a python, but I'm thinking of upgrading later this year - either to shiner fonts or to beer engines. I'd 'like' beer engines and have used them for special occasions and events, but am doubtful about what its like to live with them full time as a home...

Many (many) years ago my one and only attempt at banana wine gave me such a monumental hangover that it still stands out even today - probably something i did wrong in those early days, but maybe treat with some caution initially just in case. It tasted really quite nice though, so I should...

If its of any use, for a portable setup I made a sort of sign-post-like-thing with flat base; the cornies sat on the base to weight it down and there were holes drilled in the 'sign' to take the taps and double as a black-board with the beer name chalked above each tap. The sign was high enough...

Thanks chaps, thats sort of supports what I was wondering - if there's no physical advantage to using casks in such a manner then its perhaps more down to historical association and tradition. Thankfully I'm considering these for my own use, so its purely the practical implications I have to...

I like casks, and understand their use with a direct/gravity tap, and/or for conditioning with air breathers, and/or with longer beer lines to a beer engine. Great. BUT a great many casks are used not just with longer lines but also with a CO2 feed... by this point it 'seems' (to me) like their...
