I see
Wheres the proper place to buy them from

What size guinness can do the pubs use. Would the standard 440ml be far to small for a pint?

Not for the kind of pub model I will be running at first. There are plenty of pubs that cant sell enough Guinness before the barrel goes off

Persides there will not be enough lines to start out with

Surger cans are 520ml , any decent Wine Merchant/Wholesaler will stock them , they should also be able to get you a surger unit or get in contact with someone to supply and install it .

You can get 30 litre kegs of Guinness rather than the standard 50 litre keg

They work on ultra-sonics I believe - the aim is to make the bubbles merge into a head. Yet another annoyance, as a half of Guinness was the 'if all else fails' option when visiting ale-challenged pubs but can no longer be relied on.

However, you can pick one up on e-Bay for £50 or so.

Do you think Bookers stock them and at the same prcie per lite as one would pay in the supermarket?

These Surgers are look very expencive https://www.amazon.co.uk/Guinness-SURGER-UNIT-GUINNESS-NEW/dp/B003EVKOVW
or am I just paying to be ripped off by a logo like guinness

So what is the difference between a Surger and an ultrasonic except for the prices

Will this device allow you to do the same to any can or bottle as with guinness?

But the price of all the branded names of barralage of beer has been stitched up to the like of the pub and weatherspoon now. Where by you may as well go to the supermarket buy 9X24 packs of carlin and get an old keg and funnel and fill the keg up with the cans. That way you will be paying 65 quid for an 11 keg as oposed to 110/ 130 quid from pub-cuts/ wholsalers/ bookers. Meaning you can now sell a pint of carlin for 1.80 on a 50/50 margin
