Which Flow Restrictor?

[Tim F]

As I'm sit here sipping another beer smoothy I'm feeling like its time to give up trying to balance my kegs and just get flow restrictors.

Craftbrewer stock these which I like the look of.

Are these the ones most people use? Do they work well?

 

[Spoonta]

ya they work well I have one on my party rig as it has a short beer line and pissed people are using it

Ive got 6 in my setup...they definitely work.

 

[Tim F]

Cheers guys, I'll grab a couple then!

Bugger CB sold out. Anyone know another seller? I couldn't see them on any of the sponsors sites or beerbelly.

Good luck. I have emailed them 3 times to find out shipping prices for a low pressure gauge for my regulator and not a hint of a whisper back......

I have 12 of the micro-matic stainless steel behind tap flow restrictors, Ross sells these, see here

http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=4253

They are the ducks guts and are able to be adjusted at the tap and during a pour. I highly recommend also as they are very easy to clean, ( take out of line and soak in sodium percarb or boil with valve open) the valve has a lock off mechanism but can be just left unlocked.

Now they look good! Bit $$$, but hell isn't all the best gear?

Hope they are good I ordered one to try out, a couple of hours ago.

They look pretty sweet, do you know if they can be plumbed into standard beer line on each end though? I'm just using jg fittings and broncos

I had better luck, quote $50 for 2 units shipped.

What about these?

I realise they are set and forget and adjustable only one way... but would they work better than metres of line?

interesting idea I can see that they would probably be a cheap way to achieve line resistance...worth a try at that price.

Well doesn't that just suck the big one - what email did you send to? I went through the 'international' one.

Yep me too but i got the reply from someone else there. I'll pm his addy after work if you like

If i was going to use this to restrict the flow in the beer line would I use it towards the post or the tap?

These are not flow controllers, just on off valves.
