Hi all,
KegLand just came out with a new tap called the Nukatap (https://www.kegland.com.au/nukatap-ss-tap-only-stainless-steel.html). It's main marketing points seem to be:
- First Pour Foam Reduction in Thermal Mass
- Improved Laminar Flow
- Most Sanitary Forward Sealing Design Design
- Longer Life Seals
- Move Versatile Tap Handle Angle
The shuttle seal is a one-piece injection molded plastic piece, rather than steel/o-rings. Otherwise, it seems to be very similar to the Intertaps. Is this a replacement for them? They seem to be able to use the entire Intertap screw-in accessory line.
I haven't seen anyone else talking about these on here yet, or any reviews elsewhere online. They look promising, and I'd love to get my hands on one, once one of KegLand's US resellers starts carrying them. I assume Williams Brewing/MoreBeer will start offering them soon enough.
On another note, is anyone else extremely impressed by the surprisingly bold products that KegLand offers? Are they making these things themselves? I don't live in Australia, and I have to admit that my exposure to them has been pretty limited until now, but it seems like these guys are not just the average "sell basic third-party products, plus a few rebranded/collaboration items" kind of homebrew store. There seems to be some serious engineering going on here, and some of their stuff are honestly very deep cuts, like their whole EVAbarrier/Duotight tubing system. I mean, who invents a new tubing system?
