I can't believe how damned good beer is served on an engine. The beer has a nice foamy head but is low carbed. Been drinking some Scottish /70 for a few days!!!! :rockin:
Has anyone tried to make a dip tube for the poly pins? I am seriously looking into these along with a few hand pumps. Could someone take a picture of the back of the spigot?
Thanks,

No dip tube is required. Prime with the spigot on top and let the yeast do its thing. The beer engine will pull a vacuum and collapse the polypin as you dispense. This way it won't get oxidized. Trick is keeping it cold so the beer stays carbonated.
Apparently - I didn't wait long enough. After 2 weeks the cubitainer was full, but not tight. As I saw another set of instructions that suggested moving it to serving temperature once it began to inflate, I moved it at this point to 10c, and waited a few more days.
