Vent-matic Bulk Buy

Waiting eagerly, even though I can only have a couple of glasses until I finish the on call thing

I'm in the Melbourne area and my taps arrived Thursday afternoon.
They were sent registered post.
Thanks for that Ken.

 

[Thunderlips]

I just wanted to check, before I go fitting these taps, should I be adding some kind of lubrication to all the rubber bits inside the taps?

 

[barfridge]

I haven't got mine yet But I won't even expect them tomorrow as I am in central QLD and they can't get overnight delivery through AUS Post from Bundaberg 2 Hours south!

Gladstone is in between Rocky and Bundy so the post goes to Rocky then here :angry:

Sick of this place for the week going to Bundy tomorrow.

Sorry about my rant had to get that out!

I escaped Gladstone almost 3 years ago now. I wasn't brewing back then, due to the absolute lack of a brewshop. I suppose when bigW at the kin kora centre has the best range of HB gear, you're doing it tough.

They now have a brew shop here. I stop in there quite often for a chat, they say they will order anything I want including grain but I don't have the time to do AG yet. They are a bit pricey compared to other brew shops, I will enquire at some shops in Rocky next time I am there.

[ozbrewer]

[Kramer]

Alas I have new faith in the Australian postal service , maybe not in some of the employees at the local post office :angry: !

The parcel was there yesterday but the postie put it in the wrong box.

So I just went in then and asked and she handed me my tap, she could tell that I wasn't happy so a very big apology followed! But I was nice enough to not go postal .

Thanks heaps GMK the taps were packaged really well.

I won't be able to go in the vent off tonight as I have to travel but sunday night I will take some pics!

Now I have to make myself look sick enough to go home and install this sucker!

Thanks again GMK

Don't know if this has been posted before, but here goes

Vent-Matic Faucet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi there. i'm really new to this forum (first post, in fact) but i have been hanging around northern brewer's forums for a while http://forum.northernbrewer.com/ under the same moniker.

anyway, in 12/03 i purchased two stainless steel Vent-Matic faucets for a homebrew kegerator and wanted to share my experiences here.

i have been nothing but extremely satisfied with the quality of workmanship and performance of these faucets. i have been a homebrewer (yes, i know - not quite in the league of the professionals - but we have to start somewhere, right?) for almost a year. i struggled with the traditional faucets sticking and poor pour quality for about six months until i saw an advertisement for Vent-Matic faucets in a brewing magazine. after reading a bit on Vent-Matic's website (http://ventmatic.com/) i was hooked.

in the last month i have dispensed a little over 20 gallons (Corny kegs) through these faucets and NOT ONCE have i had any sticking issues due to beer drying on the seals - even after a full week of disuse!

with traditional faucets, i was continually disassembling the faucets to clean and lubricate between kegs - without reasonable success. the only lubricating and extensive cleaning i have done with the Vent-Matic faucets was prior to initial installation. since then, i have not disassembled the faucets between kegs like i used to do with traditional faucets. in fact, i just run BLC throught the lines followed by an iodophor solution. i have had no problems with contamination due to the forward sealing technology of these faucets.

additionally, the ability to control the "creaminess" of the foam while dispensing is an excellent feature. it is like having two faucets in one.

anyway, to clear up any doubts, i'm not a Vent-Matic sales rep or anything - just a very satisfied customer. these faucets are within the same price range of many stainless steel traditional faucets on the market. so if you are looking for something better in the world of beer faucets, i would encourage you to consider Vent-Matic faucets.

thanks!
