Keg Dispensing Supplies

When summer comes around, so do the fruit flies. These little buggers are attracted to the sweet, sweet smell of beer...and who can blame them? But once they smell the sticky syrup that condenses in the mouth of your faucet, they colonize and take over, laying eggs and making your kegerator or draft setup a nightmare! Keep those fruit flies out of your tap with Beer Tap Caps! These little rubber caps, though inconspicuous, can save you from summertime infestations of biblical proportions. Keep these on your faucets when not in use, and you'll drastically reduce fruit fly populations in and around your draft system!

A swivel nut set with a barb for your liquid side connections! These swivel nut sets come with a standard 1/4" female flared nut and a 1/4" barb. This swivel nut set is perfect for use with standard 3/16" ID liquid tubing, thin or thick-walled. These can be connected directly to the standard liquid disconnects that we offer, or used with a plastic flare fitting for any direct metal-on-metal connections.

The faucet knob is the handle part of your faucet assembly. These black faucet knobs are 2.75 inches long and screw into the lever post just above the bonnet, giving you a way to get a handle on your beer! Make sure you have one of these for each of your faucets so you can pour pints for your friends and family.

Gas lost in your CO2 system can lead to a shorter life span of your CO2 cylinders. Prevent CO2 loss with a washer! A plastic CO2 washer fits between your CO2 cylinder and regulator and helps to create a good seal. A good seal ensures that you don't lose gas when carbonating or serving. These plastic CO2 washers fit Taprite brand regulators, as well as many standard-sized CO2 regulators. Keep a few on hand in case of an emergency!

Do you have a home draft system and use both a sanke coupler and ball or pin lock kegs? Instead of going through the routine of disconnecting your sanke coupler and reattaching ball or pin lock connections every time, make your life easier with a few of these tailpieces! They have a 1/4" MFL connnection and can be used in conjunction with a hex beer nut and a neoprene washer on both the gas and liquid side of your sanke coupler. Simply replace your existing tailpieces with these, and hook up the respective swivel nuts to your gas and liquid lines.Whenever you want to use sanke or ball/pin lock connections, you can easily attach the swivel nuts to either setup!

Please Note that we recommend using a flare fitting washer on the sanke side to completely seal the metal-on-metal connections (most modern ball and pin lock disconnects have plastic on the end of their connection, so a flare fitting washer is uneccessary unless you have an older style disconnect.) Make life easier for yourself and serve beer through any type of connection!

Ever noticed how your homebrew attracts those pesky fruit flies (or drosophila melanogaster in the science world)? Seems they show up a lot easier and quicker than they leave, and are a real pain to kill. Introducing the Fruit Fly Bar Pro, Fly Strip. This ingenious product has a controlled release technology to slowly diffuse a deep penetrating vapor in enclosed spaces for up to 4 months. Vapor is clean and odorless, and evenly distributed throughout the enclosed treatment area. Kills visible and invisible (yes, even ones with invisibility cloaks on) insects on contact, and prevents new insect infestations. Works in enclosed spaces of up to 200 cubic feet. A must have for an active homebrew draft system area. Want proof? Then check out this video below

Keep that check valve ball from escaping with a check valve ball retainers! This little winged piece of plastic fits in the shaft of your standard sanke coupler, holding the check valve ball in place so that backflow does not become an issue. Protect the investment of your beer and dispensing equipment by having one of these on hand should the unthinkable loss of the original retainer occur!

A great, easy way to make CO2 and keg connections!The pin lock gas dispensing kit is a 3-foot length of 5/16" ID Bevlex tubing with a ball lock gas disconnect and 5/16" swivel nut set worm-clamped on one end, and a small worm clamp on the other that can be used to connect the assembly to a CO2 manifold or regulator. Always good to have around, especially for carbonating several kegs at once!

This CO2 shutoff with barb and check valve is ideal for use with CO2 regulators and manifolds! It has 1/4" MPT right-hand threading on one side that threads into most standard regulators and manifolds. On the other end is a standard 3/8" barb, which works perfectly with standard CO2 gas line. Get one of these to replace a damaged or missing shutoff, put on a wye splittler, or create your own CO2 apparatus!

This is a replacement chrome collar for standard faucets. It fits on top of the bonnet and threads over the faucet lever. An excellent replacement for missing or damaged collars on standard faucets!

Finally, a standard faucet made of above-standard material! These standard faucets are anything but standard, with full stainless steel bodies and levers. Stainless steel is the holy grail of beer materials! Sleek and stylist, it not only looks great, but is durable and will last longer than chrome or brass faucets. The simple design means that the faucets are easy to take apart and clean. For beer faucets that will last longer, stainless steel faucets can't be beat!

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.

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 small Oetiker clamps are often used on 3/16" thin-walled tubing that is used in some liquid applications and on thin-walled liquid draft lines. 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!

Do you often carbonate and serve beer at the same time? If so, or if you would like to be able to do both at different pressures, a secondary regulator is perfect for you! Your primary CO2 regulator attaches to your CO2 tank and allows one output pressure. However, a secondary regulator hooks up inline and allows you to regulate to another keg at a lower pressure. This allows you to carbonate one keg at a higher pressure while serving beer from another at a lower pressure! This Taprite secondary regulator is made to the same high standards as all Taprite equipment, with a high quality diaphragm that keeps regulating long after lesser regulators give up the ghost. Regulate at multiple pressures with a secondary regulator from Taprite!

A black plastic picnic faucet comes in handy in a pinch! Affectionately referred to as a cobra tap, this is a fairly simple dispensing mechanism. When the lever is pressed, the rubber gate is lifted, allowing beer to flow. These picnic faucets come apart easily for cleaning, and feature a barbed end that can fit on standard beer line. Make your own or keep one on hand in case the unthinkable happens!

You can never have too many disconnects! For all your pin lock draft needs, Great Fermentations offers you these liquid pin lock disconnects. Easy to take apart and clean, these have their uses not only in picnic taps, jockey boxes and home draft systems, but in a number of other brewing-related projects. These disconnects have a 1/4" MFL connection, which is perfect for attaching a swivel nut set for myriad applications. They have a plastic end on the male flare fitting so you don't have to use a plastic flare fitting washer when connecting them to metal. Make sure you have enough on hand for all the kegging and draft projects your mind can come up with!

A bonnet angler is a little piece that comes in handy when trying to use an extra-long tap handle on a kegerator that has a flat surface, such as a converted refridgerator. Often, a longer tap handle won't have the clearance necessary, and will hit the body of the kegerator, not able to fully shut the beer faucet. Alleviate these problems with a bonnet angler! The bonnet angler creates a slight forward lean, giving you room to proudly display your long tap handles!

This handy dandy gadget makes kegged beer portable. Just fill a soda bottle from the keg and attach the Carbonator Cap. Depress the center spring and squeeze out all the air from the bottle. Attach a gray gas disconnect and fill bottle with CO2. The gas pressure will keep the beer carbonated until you open the bottle.

To reduce foaming during filling:

1. have the soda bottle is the same temperature as the beer
2. attach a tube from your faucet that is long enough to reach the bottom of the soda bottle to fill from the bottom of the bottle up
3. shut off gas to keg and purge head pressure in the keg and allow gravity to make the beer flow rather than pressure
