Placed an order for a kegerator kit tonight. I was going to get just the dual tower, but decided to add perlick faucets, a regulator (just so I can force carb with my 2nd 5lb tank without removing the one in the fridge), and all the ball lock connections. Excited to finally get this mini fridge converted

Good call on the perlicks!

What is the advantage of a perlick faucet?

They are a forward sealing faucet so they don't stick like the standard ones after sitting for awhile without use.

As far as I know, the standard faucets tend to stick..

Thanks. It went out today.

Sweet!

Keep in mind that Perlick is a manufacturer of the cheap rear sealing faucets too.

Big time. Currently not very happy with the taps on my triple tower. They are all gummed up everytime I go to use them.

All our Perlicks we carry are forward sealing Perlick 525 Stainless steel.

Now I know why mine stick after they sit for a while. Thanks!

Got my stuff today! Thanks for the speedy delivery!

The Free Shipping trial will be wrapping up tonight or later this weekend. I've got to be honest I love the feedback from it, and love the fact we were able to offer it. Downside is the kegs are just so big and Canada is just so large. That product alone makes the idea a challenge to work with. CO2 tanks do not help much either!

I looked at a few options. I do not want to jack up prices (I am cheaper then the USA guys many times even before shipping and brokerage!). So, going to try a flat rate of $9.99 which will open another competitive feature. We can lower the threshold to qualify for the subsidized shipping down to $50.

Thank you all very much for your continued support.

Installed it tonight

Ok, so I've done a few pours with it and it looks like I'm going to need to adjust something...I've always had perfect pours with the picnic faucets, but with this it's just foam (and that's even after a couple consecutive pours to cool the lines/tap). Something else I've noticed is I am getting a plastic taste in the beer now. Anyone have any idea what would be causing this? I'd assume the line that comes pre-installed on the tower shouldn't give me that flavor.

hmmmm, not sure on the taste. How's the line length and serving pressure?

And do not throttle the valves. Wide open only.

About 5' on each tap (which is probably short but no shorter than the lines I was using before).

Serving pressure is 11 lbs, same as before.

5' to me sounds way short. I am a big fan of starting at 12-15 and cutting down from there if you find your pour is too slow. But that has never been the case for me at 12-15psi serving pressure.

I purchased a triple tower from these guys a couple months ago. Mine probably has the same 5' lines you're talking about. There was a white powdery residue on the hoses and I had to soak them and rinse the fuck out of them until water tasted normal out of them. Also, I had to turn my serving pressure down to 8psi to get rid of the foam.

you could chuck in a mcmaster-Carr swizzle stick to slow down the pour. not sure about the taste though..

Anyone have any they are looking to sell?

I have one for you Jimmy. If you'd rather not wait until the GB pickup next week, we can meet up sooner.

Towers come with 5' installed everywhere. It is a sore point for me as well. We will increase the length on request. For a while we were shipping our pass through kits with 10' of line and the amount of calls we had for balancing issues almost tripled. Unfortunately balancing lines is not a straight out of the box solution. This link is an interesting read:

I'll hold off for now Tim, but thanks for the offer.

I am going to look into adding longer lines, and getting a fan blowing some air into the tower.

On that note...is Noble Grape the only place to buy this hose locally?
