    ABS / Plastic Taps

    Cheers, but I don't think the line length is an issue as I didn't have such issues with my old taps. I have 4 meters (approx. 12 feet) of line in already. I know these taps are not great, but I didn't know the reputation of Perlicks at the time. I actually offered to by the Perls but the...

    ABS / Plastic Taps

    Hi All, (Skip to paragraph 3 if you don't want to read the blurb).... I bought a font kit from Keg King due to a broken rear seal tap so ended up moving to a three tap font and they convinced me to buy their ABS forward seal taps. The Keg King guy told me you cant tell the difference in...

    Kegging Off Taste

    Hi all, Great site very helpful and informative. My problem I know is not unique but after many hours reading last night and today I havent hit upon precise details. So I took the plunge after bottling for about the last three years and bought a second hand keg setup. I have 6 cornys and a...
