thinking about getting one of these for my kegerator so I can calculate the beer left in keg. will the low pressure and small pours register on this?

I would be concerned due to the amount of foam that might go through the devise. The cost is low enough that I would try it and take a true volume measurement with a keg or two

Don't know for sure but both of the ones I purchased only show about .9 gallon for each real gallon flowed thru it. On suction/source side of a small pump. Haven't really tried on pressure side.

It will -- but the temperature range is too high for brewing beer. The markings will be difficult for you to read at lower temperatures. Something like this: 1 X Brewcraft 12" Ss Dial Thermometer Homebrew Brew Kettle Brew Pot will be more what you're looking for.

I replaced a single tap with a double tap on my danby kegerator and it fits perfectly. I also added dual regulators to control both kegs. and the only issue I had was getting two lines of CO2 into the back. I had to replace the existing hose with a more flexible one and managed to get both through the hole. If you are not using dual regulators you can tee off on the inside. Hope this helps.

Mark is correct....I have (6) 525ss and easily have enough head on my draft beers. I had cheaper taps and had all sorts of problems with them locking up especially with the higher gravity beers that I tend to favor. Not a bit of problems with the Perlick 525 faucets

We've got a nice place here in town that also has the 5 L minikegs. Warsteiner, Einbecker, Paulaner, etc. But I've noticed that they are rather different design of keg than the heineken. Do those gravity pour mini kegs still work in the BeerTender?I can't really stomach heineken, but if these other minikegs will work in it I'm sold.

I easily just converted mine to a dual tap this weekend, and it was pretty easy. The tower I used was the "Double Tap Draft Beer Tower- Stainless Steel- 3" Diameter with Perlick Perl 525PC Faucets" (you can copy/paste from within the quotes to find here on amazon). I Drilled through the top, and ran the hosing down through the original hole. As this is a plate chiller fridge, there "shouldn't" be any refrigerant lines running through the rest of the fridge. Just be VERY VERY careful when drilling to not hit the plate inside the fridge (I nearly had a disaster with mine). Since the adding the new tower, I haven't noticed any issues or changes with the machine. It still runs as often (and loudly) as it did before. PLEASE NOTE: Drill with caution if you pursue this route. I am not a professional, I just made educated guesses when setting this up, so proceed at your own risk.

Hey Scott, this keg is a perfect fit for Mr. Beer batches. In fact, even though I have moved on to all-grain and other extract brews, my main fermenters are still my Mr. Beer LBK's. Hope you enjoy this as much as I have.

To me it sounds like there is no problem with the faucet itself, but maybe the beer is over carbonated if you force carbonated your beer or your serving pressure may be too high. I'd try turning off the co2 and purging the keg, then reset the pressure from about 5-10 psi and go from there. If the beer ends up being over carbonated, I'd purge the pressure off again and let it sit without any pressure on it for a day or two and see if it mellows out any.

I actually brew myself. If you're looking to use this to just bottle your already-carbonated beer, you'll be perfectly fine. As far as carbonating your beer via priming sugars in this growler goes, I'm not really sure. The seal seems similar to other seals I've used in the past for priming sugar carbonation so I think you'd be fine as long as you get your measurements right. I wouldn't put in too much more than about 2-3 tablespoons if you're looking to go that route.Hope that helped!

That is correct. You just attached the supplied Heineken adapter to the beer line, then press it into place on top of the mini keg.

You could, but I wouldn't recommend it. The pressure won't stay constant and over time your beer could gain or lose carbonation. I use this when I take a keg to a party with a picnic tap. Works great for that.

From what I have read, you will need the kit if the kegs are non-pressurized. Heineken and Newcastle are pressurized, so I have been pretty content.

I did not but I've only had two heinikken kegs. I mostly use my own with the co2 attachment.

Hi Jennifer-it depends on what type of keg he is using if he's using a stainless steel soda keg there are two types of connectors there's a ball lock connector and a pin lock connector. Look at the cage he has and see if there are two pins that come out of the male connector on the keg itself if so you have the pin type connector and can buy pin quick disconnect connectors on Amazon if it's the other ball type just simply look on Amazon for the ball type quick disconnects for soda kegs. If he's using a standard keg like a quarter barrel from the beer distributor then you'll have to have the appropriate connector for tags and you can buy that at your local distributor or possibly on Amazon.

I'm not sure if miller makes a draught keg, however any draught keg could work. The Manuel says new castle Heineken lite and possibly Guinness. As long as it fits correctly and it is a 5 liter keg it should work.

No it does not. It has a built in tap at the bottom. All you need is the keg and a glass(:

No this is a standard d Sankey .. it will fit domestic kegs ... bud bud light miller coors etc
