Title: Pub type Taps on Adverts
Post by: mac2k on February 02, 2018, 12:19:48 PM
Hi All,

I have been looking to get my kegging setup finished. I am looking at multiple ads for Beers coolers and Taps on Adverts. Are the taps usable with a Corny Keg?  Do they have flow control as well. Would appreciate any insight you might have on this one. I don't want to be buying rubbish taps only to have to go again.

Thanks,
Kevin

All beer taps will work with Corny Kegs.
You may need to step the beer line down from 3/8" to 5/16"

Question the seller if the taps have flow control and the inlet size.

I bought second hand pub taps on adverts, e.g harp, carsberg, they work really well, flow control, top quality, I use 5/16 beer line, ask the seller for details but pub taps tend to be top quality in my experience

Thanks for the info.
Would all pub type taps have flow control? If it's only one some, are there any you know have it for sure?

Any pub taps I have seen have flow control.
Ask the seller if they are flow control.
Buy them if they have this as it gives you better control of your dispense.
