Hello,
Newborn to the keg process and have a keezer build coming up. Deciding between picnic taps or faucets.
Pro's
Picnics - cheaper, can get dispensing sooner instead of waiting for the funds to buy shanks/faucets. Less of a headache to clean... that is the question.
Faucets - better dispensing, perhaps. Solid construction.
How do I clean the taps and/or lines? Link to article(s), other threads are welcome.
How often do I need to do that?
Is the cleaning process the same (in method and frequency) for picnics and shanks/faucets?
The big question is will it be less of a headache to clean the picnics versus the shanks/faucets? Seriously. I've been given the impression that it's a bigger pain in the ass to take apart the shanks/adapters/faucets to clean them versus cleaning picnics.
The cool factor of a faucet means very little to me - the keezer won't be on display for guests.
