Remember this photograph?

I installed the elastic band to stop myself knocking the tap on whenever I was moving the Growler around. It worked right up until yesterday!

If you look at the background of the photo you will see that the Growler sits in front of a "Tool Wall" and yesterday (with loud music playing in the garage) I inadvertently knocked a large screwdriver off the wall and had to pick it up off the floor before using it.

Obviously, with all of the garage to fall in, it had to hit the tap and knock it "ON" and despite the elastic band the tap stayed open long enough to drop about 4 litres of Vienna Lager before the music ended and I heard the brew splashing it's way to the floor!

At "high pressure" (over 10psi) the valve is held closed by the pressure at the back of the tap; however, as I really dislike a "gassy beer", can someone please come up with a better idea than the elastic band?

 

[Gareth Davies]

mmm not sure i can help you with flying tools. but our new tap with flow control AND spring loaded handle might help.

Thanks for that! Two questions:

1. Does it fit on to the original barrel?
2. Is it the £29.99 one?

I definitely need something because I'm happy with the rest of the kit, but I'm getting fed up of mopping up the results of my own stupidity.

 

[Gareth Davies]

Hi Ian,

I'm afraid not, but it will fit. The new tap has a different base. Excuse the poor video :)



If you want one drop me a PM, I'm sure we can do you a deal :)

Hi Gareth, my youngest has requested a keg of homebrew to take back to Uni in January. Could you send me a code please.

May have to buy myself one at the same time

Regards
David

 

[Gareth Davies]

Hi David. Happy to provide. I have PM you with a code

Hi there Gareth. Im about ten all grains in now on my little 10 litre set up but running out of room in the flat for bottles! I would love to get a start in kegging and have a c02 bottle so I'm thinking about the ball lock set up with a flow control tap. Does this have the spring loaded handle?

A discount code would be very much appreciated

Thanks!

I received my 5 litre keg set-up from Gareth a couple of weeks ago. As I didn't have anything ready for bottling, over the weekend I decanted 5 litres of a wheat beer hopped with citra into the keg to test everything out.

I cannot recommend these kegs highly enough. Everything has a solid feel to it (keg, spear unit, regulator, tap) which suggests that they will last for years. I poured my first pint into a jug as recommended but the second straight into the glass. I didn't realise it would be so easy to use.

If anyone is on the fence about buying a set-up, just do it.

I haven't 'done a Dutto' yet and knocked the tap accidently so haven't bothered with his elastic band 'modification' around the handle! The only thing I have done (which I used to do with the plastic kegs as well) is wrap a piece of kitchen paper around the tap to catch any drips. I needn't have bothered as the paper has been bone dry so far.

Thanks once again, Gareth, for an excellent product.

I just took possession of my 2018 Christmas Present. (The one from me to me!)

I now have a new 10 litre Growler and a new Tap with connection to the Growler. (The new Tap is spring-loaded to remove the need for the elastic band!)

Plan "A" is to rotate the Growlers around as a "Drinking Source" instead of bottles as follows:

• Growler "1" in service.
• Growler "2" carbonating with CO2.
• Growler "3" carbonating with sugar.

Obviously, to keep the Growlers filled will take some planning but I will still use the 2 x 10 litre and 2 x 25 litre PB's to maintain stocks; and a few bottles on the shelves as "Controls".

Happy Days - and when it stops blowing a hooley I will start the next brew!

BTW

I had laid down a bit of groundwork on the Christmas Present by explaining how much beer I had lost when a tool fell and knocked the other Tap to the "On" position.

The arrival of the parcel resulted in the queries "What's that and how much did it cost?" from SWMBO so I didn't lie but didn't actually mention the new Growler.

This elicited the response "That's a big parcel for a Tap no matter how expensive it was!" so I carried on running to the relative safety of the garage!

Gareth,
Could you send me a code please. I presume if I order some gear I just apply the code to get the discount. Is there a time limit on the discount code?
