Customers praise this essential draft system tool for making faucet installation and maintenance easy. "Makes changing out the tap a breeze" and "works great with no slips." While praised as functional and reasonably priced, some note it's basic quality with an uncomfortable handle. Most agree it's a must-have for kegerator owners.
Love it
Not much more to say than in my title. Easy to use solidly built and works great.
The sheet metal stamping is fine. The mounting slots are comically huge but usable. Be prepared to fix the bracket when you receive it because as far as I can tell KOMOS doesn't have a square in the factory and an overzealous brake press. They also do not have enough voltage to do a tac weld. When you get the bracket easily pull the welds apart set the bend to square and then drill retention holes for bolting shelf to backing. So far I have Performed this procedure twice.
Incredible tap - so happy I opted for this over the mini. The flow control works wonderfully and it's extremely easy to clean
Pours great samples with no exessive foam partly in thanks to the adjustable valve. Pours better and faster than the Picnic Tap 2.0 !! I will say that it does feel flimsy though and I worry about the faucet snapping off from the QD if bumped too hard. Also the QD is too 'short' and doesn't clear the handles of my 1-gallon kegs that have a 360° rubber handle top. This product only fits common kegs where there is a gap between handles near the posts.
I ferment and serve without ever transferring my beer off the yeast cake. This is perfect for that! I'll never go back
My family is loving our built in sparkling water. I installed it under the counter it was simple to install and works great. It does take up a decent amount of space so make sure you measure. I would definitely buy again!!!
I have 4 of these 2 leaked. The 'return ' spring appears to hold the tap shuttle pin open FIX: REMOVED THE SPRING no more leaking. All 4 of mine have return spring removed all working great. Yes cost more then Tap-it but I had many issues with the tap leaking and flow control.. Tried to work with designer made repairs some work OK but 3 of the 4 I have are not working. I believe the extra cost of this tap is worth itWrite your review here. It must be at least 20 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.
I am dispnesing water and beverages not beer from pet bottles that I carbonate at 45 psi. I have about a 2 - 2 1/2 ft line. The control is good. The first blast is pretty powerful but does not blow out of the glass and then you can ease back on the trigger and pour a great glass of highly carbonated water or mixed drink. Does not drip more than a drop after releasing the trigger. Beats the hell out of a picnic tap and holds higher pressures. I will be trying them on kegs tomorrow and probably post again.
This was a great purchase for my simple setup which is just a keg in an unmodified fridge. I was using a long length of tubing and a picnic tap and this is such a better option. Hope they're back in stock soon.
So much better than a picnic tap.
Works perfectly with a lot less leaking dripping and stickiness compared to a standard tap. I also appreciate the flexibility to switch out spouts for growler filling and the optional spring that I put in everyone one of my taps. Worth the investment.
I appreciate that these exist because it made it affordable for me to keep several different beers at different pressures. However it can be difficult to really dial in a pressure because the gauge is too small. If the gauge only went up to 40 30 or heck even 20 psi it would be so much easier to use! (I would prefer 30-40 though because I quick carb)
At first I loved these because the eliminated the sticking issue with rear-sealing faucets and also seemed to create less foam... but then I started seeing slow leaks and if you tighten down the lever too much it breaks the plastic red sealing cups.. I replaced one Nuka with a Perlick and it's been great for more than six months now... Now the other Nuka I had left is leaking too.. I can't recommend these.
Very well built easy to clean and use. Love the ball lock connections it comes with. REMEMBER that if you're using a kegerator you'll probably need the Low Profile connector for the beer/top ball lock (if using corny or 1/6 kegs it'll be too tall to fit. MoreBeer's part is D1415. Worth it and thank you to the other reviewer for the heads up!). Would highly recommend.
I bought one of these 6 months ago to use with a faucet adapter and ball lock QD to dispense right off a corny keg. Item KEG900https://www.morebeer.com/products/corny-keg-disconnect-faucet-adapter.html I might complain some about the adapter that I wish it was knurled because it's hard to tighten without using a pliers and scratching it. But that's not the faucet's fault. This faucet is 100% 304 SS and cleans beautifully with just PBW. It seals perfectly and operates smooth I see a few reviewers say it's sticky but you need to coat the internal parts with CIP film before assembling and it'll work like butter. Stainless on Stainless is famous for galling and sticking so yes without some food grade grease on it it would be a little sticky. Doesn't have to be. PS. I have 4 Perlick 650SS's and they stick too if they're not greased properly. Any faucet will.
I bought 3 of these faucets to replace the faucets that came with my kegerator kit. The original faucets would stick and become difficult to move if not used for a day. These faucets are always smooth but they lack a positive feel. E.g. when you close them it doesn't feel like they're going to stay closed. I'd give them an extra star but these faucets like to leak after pouring a beer. Most times they just drip a few times but occasionally they let out a big splash.
The outer thread on these are pretty aggressive next time I'd go with a 5/8" drilled hole. My 1/2" (largest in a home bit set) were straight enough but once the first half of a thread caught purchase the whole piece cocked to the side. I should have reset it that's on me. I'm happy they weren't so aggressive that they split my mahogany. Similar to a 2013 review two of my three notches sheared off and I couldn't get these lined up with the icons correctly so I'll need to attempt to undo those and pick up another couple. Anyways they got the job done for now. Very sloppy (cocked to the side not lined up properly brass thread still showing) but done.
I bought this for my Keg King Series 4 kegerator and it dropped in like the original part and works like a charm.
Great compact size for taping kegs on the go or sampling a pressure ferment vessel.
It does the job just fine for me. I am missing the shutoff valve right below it. The big fail is the angle of that top line pressure valve. It gets in the way of a wrench. It makes it more difficult to turn on and off gas. The plus side is the line attached to the bottom is positioned away from the 50 gal C02 tank we use. We've gone through 30+ taprites 10+ micromatics at this facility and this is my least favorite even though it performs flawlessly. The design is bad. We use it for pouring kegs exclusively. For a homebrewer its manageable and designed with homebrewing in mind. The ability to switch parts out easily seems great. The knob for adjusting c02 is my favorite. (We typically use higher pressures for water at his facility)
Worse thing you can do is make a really nice beer and tap that keg with dirty lines. This makes cleaning and sanitizing the lines easy. If you ever had a draft beer at a bar that did not taste quite right most likely the lines are dirty maybe even moldy you don't want that on your beer!
The kit is fine but it should include a dozen of the red rings because out of three new Nuka taps ordered with my Komos kegerator all three had broken red rings when I disassembled them to clean between kegs. After a year of this problem have started replacing them with the regular black rubber o-rings with a somewhat better result.
Ordered this kegland D-style coupler with the plans to swap out the barbs for flares to use it with my jockey box at beer events. Unfortunately the shoulder on the kegland barb fittings and the opening on the tailpiece nuts that came with these couplers are both narrower than the standard. When I tried to swap the flare fittings sold here the nuts did not fit over the ends and I had to source standard nuts locally. If you want to swap to flares make sure to purchase standard tailpiece nuts as well (item D1740). I suggested to customer service that they make a note on this item but am posting this review in the meantime.
I love this tap flow is great and it never sticks! Only issue is the red cup seal keeps cracking. They only sell the seal kit($5.00) online but if you call customer support they sell them individually($1.99). I bought a handfull of them. Otherwise it would get 5 stars
I bought two of these based on the Questions comments for this item. Not sure if Morebeer switched vendors or what but the depth that these are hollowed out is very shallow. No way a spring goes in between this and the faucet. Will need to return them. Should work fine for taps without return springs.
Well if you're like me and love to make beer but don't have a kegerator then this is the only tap you need. I had a Nukatap flow control faucet but it never could control the foam. This on the in other hand has worked perfect every time. I can pop it on any keg and pull a perfectly poured beer. Really what more do you want. The compact size is great and the self closing spring is must for parties. No more mess from some tap rookie. Love this thing.
I was using an Inkbird thermostat as a workaround after noticing that this temp panel was flickering and doing weird things like blinking and changing temp readings by extreme amounts. Eventually the Kegerator died and would not turn on. I figured the temp control panel could be the culprit. I ordered the part and got it in two days a couple of days before Christmas. Kudos to Morebeer for their kick ass shipping department. Anyway the part was replaced and the issue is now resolved. Kegerator is keeping my Czech Pilsner cold fresh and pressurized. Thank you Morebeer for providing this part on your site.
