How do you connect your beer engine to the KK's? Direct to the flip-tap?

Many Thanks Wez.
Yes Hamstead Brewing center sell the "Brewgas" system which is the Flip tap with the John Guest Fittings.

I tried this recipe once as I'm a big fan of Sarah Hughes. I found it too treacley though, and recent research I've been doing suggests much less crystal malt should be used:
