Introducing the perlick growler filler

[Kingbrownbrewing]

Picked this up today, makes filling growlers from a perlick flow control tap a breeze with minimum oxygen exposure.

 

[whatwhat]

wow... Its tubing... genius.

 

[MashPaddler]

...soooooo where might you have found this? Looks simple and the goods. Will it work on any perlick?

 

[surly]

I found this youtube vid a little while ago for filling bottles from your perlick tap.
Is there any difference with filling a growler? I would have assumed the principle was the same.

By the way, anyone know where to get one of those tap adaptors from?

 

[Kingbrownbrewing]

Umm I think some people are missing the point.

No **** its tubing, thanks captain obvious.

Its more about the barbed coupler that is SPECIFICALLY built to fit perlick taps.

I'm Guinea pigging it for the QLD perlick distributor.

It looks great and as soon as I upgrade to perlicks I will get one. Thanks King Brown. Don't let one person rain on your parade. Nice find.

 

[Kingbrownbrewing]

And yes mash paddler it will fit on any of the perlick style taps.

2 O rings seals it completely, and the metal hook holds it on.

Works a treat, with minimal oxygen pickup/

I'll get a price for you screwy

Does this have a bung or similar to maintain pressure in the growler while filling?

Hey King, does it work on the same principal as the one in the video, ie CPBF with the bung? Also you mentioned flow control taps, does it work with standard Perlicks? I'd be interested in one!

Cheers. :super:

Definitely interested in the price.

If it is a bung based system then you could easily pimp it to fill bottles with a smaller bung...

I would need more info than a pic before purchasing this bit of bling Dan but forgive me for pointing out there are cheaper ways around this.

One has only to purge growler with a little gas before forcing a bit of 1/2” silicon hose over the Perlick tap. The ½” silicone hose is already connected to a suitable length of Clark Rubber 3/8” FG hose by forcing it inside the ½” silicone hose & is held in place by a worm drive.
Wind back regulator, empty keg pressure via release valve, wind up pressure to suit pour.
This could be further refined if I could be bothered by joining up to a “Little bottler” fitting for further ease of filling.
How long does one expect carbonation to last when filling a growler with this new setup?
TTBOMM growlers are not meant for long storage but just for pissups, etc?
I get almost 48 hours with the el-cheapo method if unopened & use well before that.
Are we still mates? h34r: :lol: :beer:

Thanks mate!!

 

[TheCarbinator]

I love the use of Instagram there King Brown.

 

[adryargument]

So... 20cm of tubing = $2??
Perlick growler filler =???

Somehow I believe it's going to be at least $29.95

To be honest pete I dont think this is aimed at the tight-*** homebrewer, If anyone is bothered about price then I've got a tip for you: Dont ******* buy it! This is aimed at someone who wants their system to look and play the part.

Of course you could achieve the same thing with a bit of silicon, just like you can make beer using the BIAB method, but we still have 3V....

And to clarify for those asking, this is for filling GROWLERS, not bottles. I'm sure you could put a stopper on there, but without a straight gas in it sort of defeats the point, and leaves you with far better options for bottle filling.

Hey KBB, I would have thought that the principles of filling a growler to be the same as a bottle.
Or, is it expected that a grower would be consumed almost imediately, thereby having fewer issues with maintaining pressure? Though, if being consumed immediately, is oxygenation really an issue?

Not trying to break your balls here, I am genuinely curious as I am looking to set myself up to fill bottles from kegs soon.

 

[Matt Browne]

I'd be keen to know the price too!!
Cheers

What about one of these:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271226664784?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I know its not specifically designed for the perlick taps and doesn't have the hook to hold it on.

Any of you guys used this style of growler/bottle filler?
