My husband wants a tap for our bar in the basement? If I buy this for him what do I hook at the bottom? Do I just put the keg at the bottom?

Short answer : Yes. More involved answer : This tap comes with a threaded connection which can screw directly onto most homebrew kegs, however chances are that the keg has either ball or pin lock quick connects on it. You'll need to know which type, and then appropriate connectors can be purchased. If this tap is connected to a commercial keg (most likely a Sankey tap) you'll need to purchase the quick connector for that type of tap.

you would drill a hole through the bar, the beer hoses would go through the hole and into a refrigeration unit. You would then screw the tap in place into the bar. I have mine screwed directly to the top of my kegerator with 2 five gallon kegs and the co2 tank inside.

Well, there's a lot more to I than just hooking it up. If you have a kegerator, it would simply just on on top and run the hoses through. If you have a bar, you would have to drill through the top for the hoses, then mount the tap over the hole, which is what i did. Then drilled through my mini fridge where my two 5 gallon keg are so I can hook them up. I also depends if you're using ball lock heads or a tap for a standard size keg, which you simply would just need the appropriate attachment to hook the hoses to.

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.

Sorry, My husband does home brewing. So he had to cut it to fit his needs. However it works great and looks nice �

This is an adapter typically used by homebrewers who keg their own beer. You have to purchase the connectors separately and know they are different sizes for the beer line and gas line.I purchased this because my kegerator is already set up for korny kegs but I wanted to use a sanky tap for a microbrew keg. These adapters prevent me from having to cut the ends of and instead use the connectors already in my system so I can just pop them onto the sanky tap.

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

The cooler is a chilling vessel which a pre-pressurized 5L keg is inserted. Additionally, the clear window on the front allows for a gravity fed keg to be utilized - it appears a wine cooler with a similar dispensing mechanism would also work - if that's your thing

The box I received had two same size kegs. No tapping gear is needed and they can be used right away. These are not normal sized beer kegs so don't expect you're going to use them in that fashion. They are like a keg of beer you might find in your local grocery store.

There are faucet locks available as others have said. Shutting off co2 won't stop the pressurized keg from releasing beer

Are you wanting to know how tall it is to the top of the coils, or to the long spout sticking up? How does one use a keg to boil brew? just curious.

Let the coals burn with the lid and bottom vent wide open for 15-20 minutes, then close the lid. Keep the bottom and top vents fully open until you get to the temp you need. Once I hit temp with the vents wide open, I usually close both down to level 1 or 2. That usually works fine. To ensure air flow into the bottom vent, you may need to orient (i.e., turn the keg) "into" whichever way the breeze is blowing. On an unusually calm day recently (no breeze at all), I actually hooked up a small floor fan near the keg and pointed it to the bottom vent. That worked great. Got the coals red hot in no time. Hope you're enjoying the Keg. We love ours.

Yes this faucet should fit. All faucets in the US use standard fittings. Where you will encounter differences is in how the beer line connects to your keg (taps). If using store bought kegs your brand new setup should be fine, if using "corny" kegs you will have to change fittings on keg end. As a side note to prevent beer foaming look at using 10' of beer line. Check out www.homebrewtalk.com for some additional kegging advice. Have fun and enjoy.

I believe it will. I have a 3-tap tower that I bought here on Amazon. The filler slips inside the tip of the faucet. That part works well. Where I have a problem is that I have my tower on my kegerator, and it sits in the middle of the top. In that set up you really can't get a growler well situated to fill. I would suggest that if you plan on using this to fill growlers you have something you built yourself, or bought, where the taps are either front-mounted, or have a tower that is mounted near the edge of device so you can actually get the growler under the tap in a good configuration.

i think you could use growlers. i bought a "true brew" ingredient pack off amazon. was a gift but has good ratings... gl

There should be a small ring, about the size of a dime, on top of keg. Pull it.

No. I have two kegs in my kegerator (I just use a picnic tap on the other one if I want to use it).

This is simply just a mechanism to keep the beer cold. It does come with supplies to be able to use Heineken mini-kegs, but we have not tried it out yet. We have only used mini-kegs that have the plastic spout (I think those are called gravity fed? not sure on the term). The cooler has a little clear window towards the bottom that the spout sticks out of.

Yes but you would need lomger tubing and a way to close the seal on top of the kegorator to hold in the coolant (like a diaphram). If you wanted to keep the tap tower attached to the kegorator to avoid this, then you would need a taller tap tower as you would lose height running it through a counter top (iow, you wouldn't have enough room below the tap tower to dispense a beer).

You would need the accessory kit for any non-pressurized keg. I am even going one step further and getting nalgene plastic growlers from my favorite local brewer and directly tapping them. I had to engineer a rubber stopper with a hole in the middle that would fit the growler though. You might be able to buy something like that even. The reason: The growler is dishwasher safe and much easier to clean than those damn mini kegs.
