GMK...
Sorry about the dumb question last night about the price of this bulk buy. I got to the forum by clicking on a link, and I didn't realise that you had covered the cost ad nauseum in the previous 10 pages (I actually didn't notice the extra pages).
I had a few beers last night - is that an excuse?
Cheers,
Steve.

G'day all - jeez, you don't muck around do ya's?! That's a top order of faucets...

Just to keep you all drooling, here's some piccies of the ventmatic, with the 4 inch stainless shank and nipple - all from Northern Brewer...

Here's the Vent-matic Tap:


And here's a closeup of the back of the faucet and the shank interface. It's between these that you'd install the snaplock adapter and extension...


continues...

 

[Trough Lolly]

Here's a detailed closeup of the rear of the vent-matic faucet in my dainty little hand!


And finally the faucet, el cheapo black handle, shank, wing nut and 3/16ths nipple (basic black rubber o-ring goes inside the wing nut to positively seal the rear of the shank assembly to the beer line)...


Gassed up the keg of Bohemian Pils this morning, so I'll catch ya's later - I've got a few test beers to drink!! :chug:

Cheers,
TL

 

[big d]

top pics trough lolly.any idea on the tap thread size? im guessing around 3/8"unc.


cheers
big d

 

[Trough Lolly]

Note sure of the thread size - I'll try to measure up tonight - but I do know that the shank needs a 7/8ths hole saw...

Cheers,
TL

Oooh my head hurts

Must have been something I ate!

KEGS ROCK!! Now where's the Aspro clear... h34r:

:lol:

Warren -

 

[Doc]

Great pics TL.
Sounds like you stress tested them too :lol:
May I recommend Neuorfen over Aspro clear

Beers,
Doc

May I recommend Neuorfen over Aspro clear

[post="78089"][/post]​

Can't help but agree.
I've been through most of them and it's very hard to beat Nurofen Plus.
Can only get the Plus version from a chemist though and not the supermarket.

OK...

Just doen teh Direct Deposit Transfer - totalled over 4000.00
The Taps should be in Lyndoch the Barossa by Thursday....

For those that missed out on the buy:
I will/can source/sell these taps later - but the price will be 95.00 ea - same as what i sell the grundy taps for (which have a recommended retail of 110.00) - due to paying 11.00 for the black plastic handle plus freight to adelaide.
This will be for the whole Ventmatic Package to go into a snaplock fitting.

So - i should be able to do some packaging up thursday night for friday...

I hope they are worth it and everyone in AHB is Happy...

And with thesefamous/ immortal words:

" You're not a REAL kegger until you use a Ventmatic Tap!"
h34r: :lol:

Top work Ken for organising this bulk buy. However don't worry if you missed out you'll still be able to source all the necessary bits at an affordable price. A number of Adelaide brewers are just about to put in an order for:
SS shank
beer nut
tail piece
washer

Total cost is about AUS$28 plus postage.

The VentMatics can also be sourced for about AUS$40 + AUS$3.50 for handle + postage. So Ken's bulk buy price is about spot on, however I would suggest that the Australian supplier is not the cheapest option outside of the bulk buy.

Cheers
