The following beer keg dispensing equipment allows you to dispense and serve homebrew without all the hassle of bottles. Choose from homebrew kegerators, homebrew keg dispensing systems or portable homebrew setups.
Use this portable CO2 charger as a way to dispense beer from a Corny keg without dragging along your CO2 tank. No tanks. No hoses. It takes about two 16 gram non-threaded CO2 cartridges (Item # GF111, not included) to dispense a carbonated keg. Trigger valve allows precise control of gas. Charger connects directly to a gas ball or pin lock disconnect to dispense beer.
German beer lovers rejoice! This "A" style German slider keg coupler, also known as a tap, is just what you need to get beer flowing from German kegs! This coupler is like no other, with a cupped mount that slides onto the keg and locks in place when engaged. This is the most widely used keg coupler in Germany, and while it will not work with all German beer kegs, it does work with most of them, as well as with a few Belgian kegs. Among the breweries that use the "A" coupler are Ayinger, Achouffe, Bitburger, Franziskaner, Hacker-Pschorr, Hoegaarden, Paulaner, Spaten, and Warsteiner. This coupler comes with the gas side connections, but does not include the liquid side connections which consist of a 3/16" liquid tailpiece, a beer nut and a neoprene washer.
The Keg Line Cleaning Kit is the key to keeping your faucets, lines, and couplers clean. This kit includes a hand pump and cleaning solution container that attaches to your faucet shank, a 32 oz. bottle of Superflush Keg and Line Cleaner, a double ended faucet brush and a spanner wrench for removing faucets and attaching the cleaning pump.
Simply mix the Superflush Keg and Line Cleaner at the recommended rate of 2 to 3 oz. per gallon of water and use this solution to soak faucet and coupler parts. Remove the faucet from the shank using the spanner wrench, and attach the cleaning solution container to the shank with the spanner wrench. Pump solution through the liquid line and out into a bucket, then allow solution to sit in the lines for a few minutes. Fill the cleaning solution container with water and pump through to flush lines. Use the double ended brush to clean faucet and coupler, then flush with water and reassemble. Repeat when changing kegs to keep beer flowing free of foaming issues, beer stone buildup and bacterial infection.
The ball and pin lock disconnects used in kegging have a small washer that fits inside, creating a seal that allows the disconnects to properly allow for the flow of gas and liquid. Without this washer, you risk breaking the seal and causing all sorts of trouble with leaky disconnects! If your disconnect washers become damaged or go missing, you can simply replace them with these washers!
Don't give up on that old Perlick faucet, repair it! The Perlick repair kit was made for repairing the internals of a 425 series Perlick faucet, and comes with a stainless steel lever, a stainles steel plunger, and a chrome collar. These should be all the internal parts needed to repair a 425 Perlick. Breathe new life into that faucet with a repair kit!
A 3-way manifold is the perfect way to carbonate three kegs at once, or to pressurize kegs and run a Blichmann BeerGun at the same time! The CO2 can be hooked up from the regulator via the barb on the side of the manifold using standard 5/16" ID Bevlex tubing and worm clamps, and the other barbs can be run with the same tubing to gas disconnects for carbonating and dispensing from kegs, or to other CO2 driven devices. When mounted, the barbs run straight downward. Includes shutoff valves on the three top barbs on the manifold, which give another level of protection from lost CO2!
The Flex Tap is the perfect system for dispensing beer out of sanke kegs, and we have the replacement CO2 bulbs to run it! These 74 gram CO2 bulbs will typically work to dispense 7.5 gallons of beer, meaning that you can do about half of a full 1/2 barrel keg with one bulb. Be sure to have extras on hand!
This stainless steel splicer has 3/8" splicers on both sides. It can be used to connect two lengths of hose with a 3/8" ID together. This is the standard size for gas line in beer applications, but these fittings can be used in liquid applications as well.
Beer shanks to make all your dispensing dreams come true! These chrome plated brass shanks are used in a variety of setups to create draft systems. A 3/16" bore is perfect for liquid dispensing of all types, including beer! This 2" shank (actual: 1 3/4") is much smaller than the 4" shank that is common in draft applications. It works well in setups that don't have a lot of room and have a thin wall. Simply drill out your hole, place your shank through, and lock in place with the included lock nut. A faucet can then be attached to the outside of your draft setup, whether it be a kegerator, keezer or jockey box! Also needed on the inside is a 3/16" tailpiece, neoprene beer washer and beer nut.
This is a black plastic flange, the type that comes with standard beer shanks. It makes your custom kegerator look nice and professional, covering up drilled holes and providing a nice background for your beer faucet. If yours are damaged, replace them with this flange!
This is a replacement brass lock nut for the shank on your tower. It works perfectly well on most standard tower shanks used in beer towers. If you need a replacement, we've got one for you right here!
A Y-shaped connector used to split CO2 from a regulator that only has one outlet to two. Measurements are 1/4" MPT X 1/4" FPT X 1/4" FPT. Perfect for use in sending CO2 to both a keg and the Blichmann BeerGun at the same time! Also useful in other applications when CO2 needs to be split two ways.
From Taprite comes this "S" style keg coupler, also known as a tap. This is the part that really gets the beer flowing! Chrome-plated brass construction ensures for longevity of the coupler, so that you can keep the beer flowing keg after keg. The "S" style coupler is a common European style coupler used by many leading breweries in Europe, including Stella Artois, Heineken, Beck's, Amstel, Newcastle, Pilsner Urquell, Lindeman's, and Huyghe, makers of Delirium Tremens. It is similar to a North American "D" style coupler, but runs about a 1/4" deeper into the keg. This coupler comes with a standard 5/16" gas barb, check valve and beer nut on the gas side. Not included with this coupler are the neoprene washer, 3/16" barb liquid tailpiece and beer nut.
Smooth and straight! This flange for the inside of your beer tower is made of black plastic. It is curved on one side to fit the curvature of the beer tower. The lock nut can be tightened up against the flange in order that everything is straight on your kegerator! These flanges sometimes get damaged or lost. This flange is the perfect replacement for most flanges on standard sized beer towers.
Oetiker clamps provide a permanent clamping solution! This style of clamp has a 1-ear design, which means they are crimped at a single point on the clamp to create a superior seal over your tubing. These medium Oetiker clamps are often used on 3/16" thick-walled tubing that is used in some liquid applications and in draft systems. These clamps hold tight, creating a great seal that holds for a long time! Some people prefer these for more permanent systems. If you are looking to switch over to a snug seal that lasts, make sure you use Oetiker clamps!
The name Perlick has been in the beverage industry for a long time, and has always been associated with high quality draft equipment. The 630SS is no exception. This faucet is forward-sealing so there is less chance of bacterial and yeast activity. A high-quality forward sealing faucet such as this will need to be cleaned less frequently than an inferior back-sealing standard faucet. Being all-stainless, this Perlick faucet is built to last! Staying strong long after other metals begin to degrade, a stainless steel Perlick faucet is something of a long-term investment, but well worth the price!
Is your tap handle too short? Not visible or prominently displayed, like you would like? Look no further than this chrome extension to solve your tap handle woes! This 1-inch chrome extension is placed between your faucet and tap handle to extend it outwards. Simple to use and effective, get the right length for your tap handle today!
Bevlex tubing is a high quality thick-walled tubing. This 3/16" tubing works well for beer line, as it is the standard inner diameter for most serving systems. While the thinner walled tubing may also be used, this thick-walled tubing is recommended for permanent installations, such as on a kegerator or keezer dispensing system. It is also recommended when a thicker wall would come in useful. It is more durable and can withstand more pressure than the thinner-walled version.
Inner Diameter: 3/16 in.
Outer Diameter: 7/16 in.
From Johnson Controls, a trusted name in temperature control and thermostats, comes this handy external thermostat that can be used to keep your beer at just the right temperature! The unit consists of a probe that goes into your cooling device (refrigerator or freezer), an analog thermostat that ranges between 20 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and a power cord with plug outlet for the cooling device. Simply place the probe on the inside of your cooling device, plug your device into the unit, and set your temperature. Done! The unit will interrupt power to the cooling device when the temperature goes too far out of range of the set temperature.
Note: that there is a 3 ½ degree differential between the set point and the actual temperature. However, this range should have minimal effect on the actual beer temperature. Using this control, homebrewers have been able to make excellent lagers all year round, cold crash their beers, and so much more!
This stainless steel tee is perfect for gas application, but can be used wherever a tee with hose barb fittings is required. It has three 3/8" barb connections, one on all ends, and is therefore able to split gas off in two separate directions from the source.
Do you use a lot of Oetiker clamps to tighten your connections? Or would you like to switch your connections over to Oetiker style and have a more permanent clamp on your liquid and gas connections? A crimper of your own would come in extremely handy! While oetiker clamps can be crimped with a set of pliers, the crimping can be difficult and uneven. This crimper clamps Oetiker-type clamps down with ease and precision, ensuring a perfect crimp every time! A must-have for anyone doing projects that use Oetiker-style clamps!
