Title: Nitro/sparkler/stout tap
Post by: bizarro on April 02, 2019, 01:15:32 PM
Hi Lads,

about to go down the route of kegging and want to be able to do stouts, looks like it isn't easy to get your hands on a stout tap within EU? Just wondering if anyone has recommendations of where to get one or which one to get for that matter?

A stout tap's the same as a normal tap but it's got a little perforated plate in the spout.
But if you want creamy stout like in a pub, you'll need a mixed gas setup too for the nitro.

Hey Eoin,

ya my plan was to get 70/30 nitro carbon dioxide mix, still gotta get an appropriate tap to take the restrictor plate though, anyone any recommendations?

Look on done deal and similar. Guinness / Murphy's pub taps  come up occasionally

Look at Intertap taps. They use changeable spouts. One option is a stout spout with a restrictor plate

Flow control (I have these, they're excellent) - https://www.kegkingdom.co.uk/products/intertap-flow-control-stainless-steel

Non-flow control - https://www.kegkingdom.co.uk/products/intertap-faucet-stainless-steel

Stout spout - https://www.kegkingdom.co.uk/products/intertap-stout-spout
