Keg Dispensing Supplies

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 sweet sweet beer. This 5" shank (actual measurement: 5 1/8") is slightly longer than the standard 4" shank and works when you need just a little more length. 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.

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!

Do you want to serve perfect pints of nitrogenated beers every time? The cascading nitrogen bubbles coming from a classic Irish stout come to mind, as do other styles, such as IPAs, imperial red ales, and classic British pub ales that are sometimes served on nitrogen. To pour these beers perfectly, you need a stout faucet...and we've got just the one for you! This stout faucet is the same classic faucet design that Guinness is poured from at your favorite traditional Irish and British pubs. In addition, many bars and restaurants use this style for pouring any nitrogenated beers! Featuring a stainless steel straight nozzle with a stainless steel restrictor plate that forces the beer to come out creamy and smooth, the design allows for pulling forward to pour beer and pulling back to give a creamy froth to the beer. Use with beer gas to achieve that perfect pour!

This faucet features a chrome plated body, with a stainless steel restrictor disk and nozzle.

These quick connects come in handy for quickly connecting to and disconnecting from connections of all kinds! This is the female side that has a gray disconnect button for quickly disconnecting from the male end. It has a 1/4" straight barb to hook up to 1/4" ID tubing. It has a temperature tolerance range from -40 to 180F and a vacuum pressure tolerance of 120 PSI. This female piece is used with the 1/4" Quick Connect Insert, item #05P01-122.

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.

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.

This CO2 shutoff with 1/4" MPT threading 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 standard 1/4" MFL threading, which works perfectly with standard swivel nut sets and other 1/4" MFL fittings. If using a swivel nut set, we recommend using a plastic flare fitting as well, in order to create a good seal. Get one of these to replace a damaged or missing shutoff, put on a wye splittler, or create your own CO2 apparatus!

One of the most indispensible washers in modern history! Without this washer, there would be leaky kegs on college campuses and at house parties across the country. This is the washer that fits on the bottom of a standard American "D" style coupler. These washers have a tendency to come off during removal after a keg blows. In case this happens to you, be sure to get an extra washer and keep the beer flowing!

Have some extra tubing on hand for all your kegging needs! 5/16" inner diameter tubing is the standard tubing used in kegging and carbonation systems in the U.S. The Bevlex tubing we carry is thick-walled for extra protection and security when carbonating. This can be used on all standard CO2 connections in your draft system.

Inner Diameter: 5/16 in.
Outer Diameter: 9/16 in.

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.

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 secret weapon for keeping a clean brewery! A double ended brush can come in handy for cleaning all those hard-to-reach places, not only in your dispensing system, but also in your brewing equipment. The two ends have two different sizes brushes, which come in handy in cleaning faucet parts, keg posts, dip tubes, racking arms, ball valves, bottle fillers...the list goes on! Keep every nook and cranny of your brewing equipment clean with one of these. Highly recommended to anyone who owns a keg or a permanent dispensing setup.

A 4-way manifold is the perfect way to carbonate four 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 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 four top barbs on the manifold, which give another level of protection from lost CO2!

The original Guinness coupler! This keg coupler, popularly known as a tap, works on Guinness, Harp and Kilkenny kegs, as well as Smithwicks, Magners and a few select others. It is a "U" style keg coupler that is not commonly used by breweries, but is used by those mentioned. If you want to tap a keg of any of these, you will need a "U" coupler! This coupler includes the gas side connections. Not included is the a 3/16" liquid tailpiece, beer nut and neoprene washer.

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!

Superflush Tap & Line Cleaner is an safe, easy-to-use, economical and biodegradable line cleaner perfect for use on kegerators and draft dispensing systems. Simply mix 2-3 oz. with 1 gallon water as per the instructions and pump through lines. Allow to sit in lines for a few minutes, then flush clean with water. A solution made at the same rate may be used to clean faucet and coupler parts as well. Sold in a 32 oz bottle, Superflush can help you keep your lines pristine, pouring perfect beer every time!

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!

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!

A swivel nut set with a barb for your gas side connections! These swivel nut sets come with a standard 1/4" female flared nut and a 5/16" barb that can be used with standard 5/16" ID gas tubing. 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.
