Perlick or Regular Stainless?

I'm order four taps and was hoping to get the Perlick style taps, however I am leaning towards the regular stainless as there are attachments you can get that allows you to fill growlers right from the tap.

Does anyone know if there are equivalent attachments for perlick?

Barring those, they are easy enough to build with different sized tubing. Selin's Grove in PA fills growlers from the tap with an interesting tubing in tubing contraption.

Get the perlick taps, they are well worth it. I have one of those attachments from otk you can have. Mine are older taps and it doesn't fit the old style.

IIRC they sell attachments for both perlick styles.

Damnit.

I didn't see the other growler filler from OBK that does support perlicks. Nevermind then!

And Jamie, the perlicks are well worth the extra few bucks. I went through this dilema as well. Since our taps are sitting most of the time (unlike a bar, where they're mostly running), homebrewers have to worry about taps sticking more. The perlicks are awesome in that regard.

I switched to a perlick and made my own CP filler. The Perlick is WAYYY better IMHO, I have a spare Stainless faucet that I'm looking to get rid of if you are interested in a trade/sale.
