I may be interested in 4 taps but will wait for info from the Batty one.

Ken,
I'll speak to you in the next few weeks re your shanks, collars and adapters.

My ventmatics were getting a bit sticky, so decided to take them apart rather than the usual hot iodophur every couple of months. Im pretty sure this is the 1st or maybe 2nd time ive disaasembled them since getting in the 1st big buy. I was really surprised to find only a tiny little bit of crud on the top o-ring for the shuttle / handle. all of the food grease had gone, which might explain the sticking. so lubed it up, re-assembled and as good as new!

Yaarrgh, these taps be the best. savvy ?

I've made a bit of a picture review of the Perlick version of these taps, and also showed the different mounting options so people can understand what to look for and buy for their own setups.

Hope it helps!

Yes guys,
Good advice from the bat cave dweller.

I think he may have some inside info "wink" "wink"!!!
Could be good for ventmatic fans.

Cheers

It's late at night & I've been working on the new additions all evening, but for you late dwellers...

CraftBrewer is now a distributor for Shirron in Australia. As an opening offer & as a sign of good faith to the "bulk buy" I'm bringing you the taps for just $59 gst inc until the end of December.
Before you rush & buy, please take a look at the Celli taps we are also distributing, these Italian taps are IMO one of the nicest looking/performing taps on the market & our opening offer is sensational... I'll announce officially tomorrow, as I'm buggered & need my bed ....


Cheers Ross...

batz was right. Should have waited another week or two. Craftbrewer now has them for $60 (no affil). kicking myself for buying from the states and paying all that postage. Oh well, got mine and they look great. have not used them yet as im waiting for shanks to arrive. For anyone whos getting one you will be really surprised how small they actually are. only comparision i can find on my desk is a pack of smokes which they fit inside. Only thing im not really happy about with them is the bit below where you put the handle on. Its not stainless, bronze or brass and its chromed, i think. Mine came with a couple of dings in it which revealed this and the internal thread is also bronze in colour (anyone with the old ventmatics able to check and see if its the same on them?). Its wider at the top then the black plastic tap handles so it just doesnt fit quite right.

I recommend the BOD handles Ross also sells. These things rock you can change your logos and add info about the beer. Thanx for the early chrissy present Rossco!!! I also took the opportunity to upgrade my beer line and JG fittings which make it heaps easier to clean my lines now.

I know what you mean Warren
I want 5 of these things,sort of depends on the price of the adaptor, looks and cost, as to which taps I'll choose.

Bloody good looking tap the Celli

Ross can you bring one of each to the Xmas Swap so we can have a play with them?

 

[KillerRx4]

Do those Celli taps have the same forward seal advantage as the shirron?

Yes they do

Sorry, no they don't - This feature is unique as far as I'm aware to the Shirron & Perlick taps.

I've got two Celli fonts which I picked up for pennies on ebay in the UK. Haven't actually tried them yet, but they sure look cool
