Picnic Tap Recommendations?

Any know of a quality brand for a picnic tap and what length tubing I should get?

Whatever the LHBS has. 10’ works perfect for me

I brewed for a lot of people and a lot of parties or events. Id drop kegs off with whats seen in the picture for the tap. Simply a picnic tap and 3 or 4 inches of tubing for a couple hundred kegs. It works no need to get fancy.

It does drip though so keep that in mind if serving out of a fridge

MoreBeer.com and other retailers sell both stainless and ABS versions of a Pluto Gun. They are nice. I’ve got 4 of the stainless versions that I use in place of picnic taps and traditional taps in my keezer.

That thing is interesting, where does it seal off? If it’s at the tip of the barrel then it could be great, if it’s further back in the barrel then there’s a long tube for gunk to collect and mold to grow in.

Yeah, it's right at the tip. Whether it's with picnic taps or with the Pluto Guns I simply keep a spray bottle of Star San/Iodophor (or even tap water would work too) that I squirt into the tip to make sure it's all cleaned out before putting it back in the keezer.
