Home of the BrewNosers

To the guys who picked up the free perlick growler fillers at Lagerfest yesterday, please don't forget to provide feedback to Patrick at Ontario Beer Kegs. He was kind enough to ship them down for free, for the BrewNosers to try out. He would like feedback either posted on his facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/wwwOntari ... 4438140278" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or emailed to sales@ontariobeerkegs.com

Enjoy, and thanks again Patrick!

Is this for 525SS?

Working great so far

Just tried mine. Works great, but I'll be changing out the vinyl tubing to softer silicone. Sterilizes easier in boiling water (doesn't get cloudy and weird), and it works better for moving around. Great product. Thanks!!!

I'm interested in seeing one of these in action or trying one myself. I'll probably just order one eventually. I had an idea to use some kind of flow reducer and thinner tubing for standard bottle filling if this wasn't totally suitable for the job.

It's not a reducer, it just makes life easy as you can slide the adapter into the tap without wiggling and frigging around.

For those with facebook, don't forget to post feedback on ontariobeerkegs facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/wwwOntari ... 4438140278" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Otherwise, send it to their email.

I posted there, but will mention here that my first usage went well, except for the excessive foaming from one tap, probably my own fault.
Was just at a brewpub that filled their growlers direct from the taps, and they used quite a reduced line. Got me thinking that this might help with the pressure differential and foaming would be reduced. Maybe...

I appreciate and thank everyone for all and any feedback. In all honesty a project like this we just blindly take a idea and try to make it work. I do not have a store or a lab, it is literary me and the wife huddled around my basement kegerator and I tend to get a bit wobbly testing stuff like this. Every new project scares the crap out of us because we do not know if this will be the one that breaks us.

On the flip side I love bringing new ideas to the table. And I love the fact that we are a Canadian store testing boundaries with items like this and our stainless carbonation caps and soon to arrive economy kegs with standard parts. It is a huge struggle and gamble trying to be innovative. My opinion is we need it to improve the products we can buy as home brewers though. I expect it will not be long before you see our products we worked on in the USA for sale.

Great work, I love the ss carb cap, should order one myself. Thanks again.

Is there a way to make a live link to OntarioBeerkegs homepage in the signature, Jimmy or Patrick? I hate having to root around for a link.
