faucet extender where to find

[fraalan]

I was at an airport bar a month or 2 and and saw these cool spout enxtnders for domestic beer faucets.

Basically the concept was to have the beer dumped lower into the glass to avoid excess foam. They looked like a boly on or add on to the original faucet. The finished product looks clean and it seemed to work ok.

The finished product looked like a european type faucet with the long spout.

if anyone has some links or vendors i would appreciate it.

Thank you

It sounds like you are talking about Turbo Tap. I don't have any experience with them but their web site is TurboTap - Pour Faster, Better Beer

good luck

expensive little buggers.

Some of my customers may be interested.

I finally got my italian faucet to work on a milwaukee,wi made tower at home last night. what a luxury.



Thanks again.

MM is a vendor of the turbo tap, so maybe I'm walking a slippery slope here, but you should only use them at a high volume account. They are designed to allow staff to pour a consistent pint quickly in a short time. In order to pour quicker, you need to crank up the pressure. As most of us are aware, you crank up the pressure you over carbonate the keg. I'm sure they are great if you’re pouring several kegs an hour, but for all non-stadium/arena accounts, I wouldn't recommend them. If you know how to pour a beer properly, you can get a great looking/tasting pint in an extra 3 second without one.

Just my opinion.

well put, i have a few stadiums and arenas under my belt, maybe I will try it next time.

Before you place these on a system, be certain to either alter restriction in the system if CO2 is utilized and if a blend gas is applied, be prepared to increase pressure substantially.
