    Perlick Gaskets

    Ordered the gaskets. Appears not to be in stock, yet they show these on their website. A mailing label has been created, but no shipping date. Probably no longer available. And no updates from the retailer. They state their parts are sourced from multiple locations around the country.

    Michigan Perlick 425SS faucets (Qty. 2)

    At minimum, these would need a complete overhaul with all new gaskets. The originals are going to be dried out after 15 years of storage.

    Perlick Gaskets

    $60 each is too much for an old faucet. I have five of the 425's. Don't waste your money!

    Perlick Gaskets

    I have a dual filter system that has been used with success to remove anything as small as 2 microns.

    Perlick Gaskets

    I hear what you are saying! I have about 40 faucets. All SS. 400, 500, and 600 series Perlicks. I like the 425’s best. But they all require constant cleaning to prevent dripping issues. My Tap Rite’s never drip! Never! But if you don’t draw a pint every day, they lock up tight. It takes super...

    You like Nukataps better than Perlick?

    Just placed an order for 5 plunger washers. Thanks for the link!

    Perlick Gaskets

    Great! Thanks for the info! I will order some new gaskets. I love these faucets! Even better that the later 500 and 600 series.

    Perlick Gaskets

    We have 5 vintage Perlick faucets. The early ones where the spout unscrews from the body. Where can I find replacement gaskets? Did a quick search, but did not find what we need. Thanks!

    What are you drinking now?

    All on tap... Altstadt Pilsner Pilsner Urquell Boston Lager Winter Lager Have not brewed anything in 10 months. Might not brew anything for another 10 months, if ever.

    Keeping Fads Alive

    Once upon a time I was into the "flavor of the day", or what you might call fad beers. Thankfully, I have outgrown that phase.

    Changing Draft Beer Lines?

    Yes, I have a couple other towers that I will experiment with, and install the EVA Barrier lines! Thanks to everyone for all of the help! Note that I have Russian Vodka that is no longer available in this country.

    Changing Draft Beer Lines?

    After a few days, it seems that the new beer lines are “breaking in”, with no noticeable off flavors.

    Changing Draft Beer Lines?

    Thanks for the pictures! That looks like a good solution! Here are my new towers, which very well may be returned…the jury is still out.

    Changing Draft Beer Lines?

    I use BLC on the lines about every other keg. Normal procedure is to recirculate the BLC solution (hot water) for 30 to 45 minutes. Then do a rinse with 100% hot water for another 20 minutes. Sometimes I will just do a hot water rinse for 30 minutes on the lines. I use a pump for circulating...
