Nice discussion on the Sparklers. I'd been dissapointed to not get the guiness type pour. I thought that was just part of using an engine.
Glad you asked. It's a device that allows cask beer fanatics to complain about each other.
I got a hold of a guy David from Worthside, who was supper helpful and explaned how to take apart the Engine and what to look for that would be causing the problem. He said that the gaskets should be good because the the stickers on the unit said it was last serviced in 2005,and they last a while.
Yes, I have ordered a set of replacement gaskets from the UK, and a set of 3 different sized sparklers. I've read that they help out a lot.
I want and want some more...
Nice photos and an interesting idea to hook the enamel stripping animal to a beer engine.
I'd be interested to hear a little more about this. Did you use a check valve to just let air in and not let the natural carbonation pressure out? Or just the filter? What sort of filter did you use?To the inlet of the keg I hooked up an in line air filter that vented air in through a 20µM filter.

I'm brewing an ale that's destined for cask serving today. Splitting it into two, 2.5 gallon cornies.

Every time I see threads on beer engines I want one so bad, but the price has always turned me off. I have seen a few DYI engines but nothing looks cooler than a authentic one.
They are for the most part made in England, and for whatever reason, It costs a boat load to ship any thing from england to the US. I think for the most part too is there is not a ton of demand for these. Only a few companies make them, and as far as I know...no Chinese manufactures.
the best price I have seen for a new one is through Northern Brewer, + they sell pins and Firkins.
I got a Nylon reducing barb from ACE, and used vinyl tubing for 1/2" line.
