Hi,
I plan to put an order in for a couple of items at the Chinese site on AliExpress.
Can anybody recommend any handy items for people who use corny kegs, which make life easier?
Cheers

Bloody hell - where to start.

Well, assuming you don't have a Brewzilla (a few handy bits you could buy but I won't mention them at this stage), bits I've bought from Aliexpress which I've found invaluable:

- The duotight inline regulator

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001050454553.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1f2d4c4dNSpX5H
Inevitably you will get more than one keg (even if you think you won't) and you may want to force carbonate or serve at different pressures

- These screw on connectors

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001050005307.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1f2d4c4dNSpX5H
So you don't have to **** about with the barbed ball lock connectors as these will screw on to the threaded ball lock connectors

- These reducers

https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot...erId=8017461377895194&productId=4001058662171
So you can integrate the duotight 5/16 standard with the more traditional 3/8 standard of John Guest stuff

- The plastic carbonation caps and T pieces

https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot...erId=8117384898555194&productId=4001034873369
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001034715806.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1f2d4c4dNSpX5H
So you can do line cleaning with a pop bottle if all your kegs are in use

- These floating dip tubes and gas tubes

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001050312785.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1f2d4c4dNSpX5Hhttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001110558755.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1f2d4c4dNSpX5H
So you can convert your kegs into having cask style floating dip tubes which, IMHO, is way way better

- This little tube cutter

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001085503011.html?spm=2114.12010615.8148356.3.7a84277cXvrBL6
Which is literally the handiest thing you can have for cutting your lines to size - a clean straight cut every time

I second the tube cutter! It’s a great wee tool.

Many thanks, couple of bits to add to my list. I was going to ket a gas manifold but I may be better off Making up something with three in line mini regulators. I would like to mount them on a board to keep things tidy in there.
