Hi Everyone,
I have been interested in using kegs but have hated using the long beer lines to add resistance to get a nice slow flow. I noticed the swizzlestick plastic keg insert, but wanted something SS.
Basically, its a size 13 (I think) 4 inch machine screw with the head half cut off.
The idea is to insert it into the bottom of the dip tube when the keg is empty. Just flip the keg over, install the dip tube and put the screw into the tip tube before you push the tube up into the keg. (the half-head prevents it from sliding up the liquid tube but restricts the flow. The more of the head you cut off, the more flow you get. So far, it works great with water and beer with half of the head cut off. I have tried from 8 to 20 psi and the water/beer always flows nice with same flow.
My main post about it is on my blog:http://www.londonbrewers.ca/blog
Try it out, let me know what you think!
