Anyone tried these, are they any good or should I stick with bottom tap
version (and wait a bit longer for settling)

I use them for my beers that I want low carbonation in, like pale ales.
Obviously you know this from the bottom tap version. I say go for it,
they're only a pound (=A3) extra and you can easily make an ice bath for
them (useful seeing as it's summer). Make sure you sterilise the float
system.

Hi

After some bad experiences with "HB Beerspheres", I have gone
completely over to "King Keg Top Tap" kegs and have had no trouble
with them whatsoever.

I have fitted the caps with a pressure gauge and a combined
fill/relief valve, which gives me a better idea of the pressure inside
the kegs.
