beer pump for games room

[damos3]

As I'm looking at getting more pins and arcade games, I need a bar for my games room.

What are people's recommendations for getting a beer pump?
Where is the best place to buy them?
What should I be paying?
Where is the best place to get kegs from and how much are they?

Thanks in advance

I looked into this a while back.

Pump/handle, cooler and CO2.

However the average keg holds around 50 pints +, it has to be used within 2 week or something like that, or it goes off. The line has to be flushed or replaced regularly.

Trouble was I or my friends couldn't drink all those pints every week. I'm sure the pipeline owner will chip in here.

If you don't want large quantities of beer, look at getting a "direct draw" machine. They use mini kegs and no beer lines to clean out so easy to maintain for home use. (if I remember right you get new tubes with each keg, so you don't need to clean anything

I know nothing about this particular machine or this website, but here is an example :-

That looks absolutely perfect and at that price I might buy one sooner. The kegs cost around 35 quid so about £3.50 a pint and a good range of drinks.

Thanks !

Stick with a bottle fridge, its much easier.

Any recommendations for which one or where to buy? A quick google shows they are quite expensive

Keep a eye on eBay , there's always something on there.

If I ever have a games room I want a slush puppy machine

I have had one of those (that Luke linked to) for a couple of years, and very pleased with it so can recommend, especially for the price. Looks great too.

edit: I bought this particular one as its so quick and easy to change a keg compared to others - it takes less than a minute!
