New (cheaper) Perlick "perl" Forward Seating Beer Taps

[Doc]

Perlick have released a new forward seating beer tap PDF showing design here.
I like the Stout Creamer version. Nice.

The main difference from the ones most of us bought a few years back appears to be this

Instead of having the end of the faucet lever inside the faucet connecting to a slider that carries the o-ring like forward-sealing faucets, the end of the lever is actually a ball which seals against the "floating" o-ring inside.

Oh, and I should also mention, this model is cheaper than the older models it replaces.

Beers,
Doc

A quick little search and found them for US$29 from here.

I wonder if that US wholesale price of $29 will really amount to much cheaper retail in AUS through any of our sponsors, cool though I like the fancy p on the front

Group buy ?

 

[Doc]

Found the creamer version on eBay here. But the shipping is killer. More than the damn tap. Grrrrrrr

Need to get hold of the bloke from chicompany.net and see if he is going to stock them, then arrange a bulk buy.

He used to pop into this site occasionally, have not seen a post from him in a while.

I've pinged The Beer Tap Store guy.
Awaiting a reply.

I couldn't organise ****! However I would be happy to pay a little extra so that the guy that organises everything gets his taps for less.

 

[itmechanic]

I'd take 3 for sure!

 

[TerritoryBrew]

I would go in for 3

 

[brettprevans]

so its about AUS$50 + shipping. surely easier to buy from one of the Oz suppliers since it would almost eb the same cost?

 

[Supra-Jim]

$US29 = $AUD38 at the moment. Still looks pretty good.

Cheers SJ
