I'm order four taps and was hoping to get the Perlick style taps, however I am leaning towards the regular stainless as there are attachments you can get that allows you to fill growlers right from the tap.
Does anyone know if there are equivalent attachments for perlick?

Barring those, they are easy enough to build with different sized tubing. Selin's Grove in PA fills growlers from the tap with an interesting tubing in tubing contraption.

Re: Perlick or Regular Stainless?
Get the perlick taps, they are well worth it. I have one of those attachments from otk you can have. Mine are older taps and it doesn't fit the old style.sleepyjamie wrote:I'm order four taps and was hoping to get the Perlick style taps, however I am leaning towards the regular stainless as there are attachments you can get that allows you to fill growlers right from the tap.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

IIRC they sell attachments for both perlick styles.LiverDance wrote:I have one of those attachments from otk you can have. Mine are older taps and it doesn't fit the old style.

Damnit.
I didn't see the other growler filler from OBK that does support perlicks. Nevermind then!

And Jamie, the perlicks are well worth the extra few bucks. I went through this dilema as well. Since our taps are sitting most of the time (unlike a bar, where they're mostly running), homebrewers have to worry about taps sticking more. The perlicks are awesome in that regard.

Re: Perlick or Regular Stainless?
I switched to a perlick and made my own CP filler. The Perlick is WAYYY better IMHO, I have a spare Stainless faucet that I'm looking to get rid of if you are interested in a trade/sale.

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber

Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe
