I have a snap tap, and fill into kegs..
I love that the snap tap never undoes when opening ( I tried the hot turn tap and cold fermenter thing many times - didn't help me)
however my keg fill connector tube sometimes slides off of the snap tap... I used to be able to do other things when filling a keg but with the tapered spout of the snap tap I have to hover and watch it doesnt' pop off.
anyone got a simple snaptap to keg tube that is reliable?
I'm seeing me about go down the route of a ball valve off of the fermenter so I can use a push-fitting for JG tube...
ideas?
Hi pfs,
The lube is the important part, without it the tap will still be tight to turn once it cools.
The other thing that I have noticrd over many years of brewing is that the black taps don't respond to any fix.
Years ago all fermenters came with a black tap and imo they were crap.
If you go the ball valve route then all you need is a barb to push the hose on and a 90 deg bend if you think one is necessary.
Which ever way you go you will still need to pull the tap apart for cleaning, and yes I agree that the snap taps are good except for the tapered outlet which allows the hose to slip off = beer everywhere :angry:
Cheers
