Short Beer Lines... Flow Controller?

[QldKev]

How long are your beer lines now?

Not 100% sure of exact length, on this setup I have one of these http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=3615 with the standard line it comes with. It's about 1m long, but supposed to have a 4 or 5mm internal size, so "should" be the correct length for it's diameter. I've been trying to avoid adding more length to the lines as the fridge is already pretty tight to get all the crap in there. My other older setup out back has long lines, as per the calcs you get for line length, and I've never had an issue.

Hehe,

And I just bought 4

 

[real_beer]

I'll wait till a "Deal of the moment".....sure to be along in a moment??

Good luck on that one! Maybe if Ross had used his head & offered 'Holden Racing Mugs' for the current deal he could've sold out by now & moved onto the next deal. :lol:

Would love to get 4 but unless they come down significantly in price I dont think I can justify it (I can live with a coiled up bit of line in my fridge for the time being)
$236 is a lot for convenience, I paid less than that for my 4 perlicks with SS shanks ($221).

i have 3 of the short shank adjustable taps from mybeershop. best $100 i ever spent, besides hookrs and blow anyway

I have contacted Ross to see what he comes up with, as far as ' significantly cheaper' I don't think that'll happen but we'll see.

 

[ekul]

+2 for me foir sure

As an alternative, has anyone seen or used these.

A little cheaper too @ $32.50... although i couldn't find them on the JG site.

I love John Guest's other products and wouldn't mind an inline concealed solution if possible

or another alternative, which seems less fit for purpose... but cheaper

Now they look like the stuff, I've read much of the thread and most comments seem positive. I think that I'll get a dozen or so to try out, postage will be ok, I'm guessing you may even fit a couple of dozen or more in a small flat rate box. Cleaning is the only downfall but hey we really should be cleaning the dip tube each fill.

BTW

Ross contacted me and will lets us know a figure for the CB stainless restrictors when he has new stock arrive.

Looking at them and I have to wonder how a bit of stainless steel scrubby would go?
